"Flower Fairies" Alphabet Series Classic Postcard
This design is by British illustrator Cicely Mary Barker (1895-1973), who was renowned for her lifelike depictions of flora and fauna. Inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite movement, her artwork possesses an ethereal beauty and profound artistic depth.
Elves have graced European literature and folklore since medieval times, their exquisite souls embodying truth, goodness, and beauty. Cicely Mary Barker's creations can be seen as a reflection of the 20th-century British imagination and aspirations regarding these mystical beings. In 1923, she published her first book, *Flower Fairies of the Spring*, featuring illustrations of flower fairies accompanied by her own short poems. These poems described the unique characteristics of each fairy, imbued with a childlike wonder and a touch of magical romance. In Britain, her work transcended children's literature, earning widespread admiration from adults as well. This postcard represents the letter "P" in the Alphabet Series, signifying "Pansy."
