Flower Fairy Alphabet Series Classic Postcard - Double Daisy

Flower Fairy Alphabet Series Classic Postcard This illustration is by British artist Cicely Mary Barker (1895-1973), renowned for her lifelike depictions of flora and fauna, inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which imbued her work with an ethereal beauty. Elves have appeared in European literature and folklore since the Middle Ages, their exquisite souls embodying truth, goodness, and beauty. Cicely Mary Barker's creations seem to represent the 20th-century British imagination and longing for these magical beings. In 1923, she published her first book, *Flower Fairies of the Spring*, featuring illustrations of flower fairies accompanied by her own short poems describing their characteristics, filled with childlike wonder and romantic enchantment. In Britain, her work transcended children's literature, also finding favor among adults. This postcard, representing the letter "D" in the Alphabet Series, signifies "Double Daisy."
