EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image is taken from the 'Sky Fairies' series of the early 20th century, published by Humphrey Milford for their 'Postcards for the Little Ones' collection. The artist behind this magical masterpiece is Amy Millicent Sowerby, who brought the ethereal world of fairies to life with her delicate brushstrokes and whimsical imagination. Dating back to 1920, this postcard captures a moment of pure joy as fairies frolic and skip through the clouds. Their laughter echoes through the sky as they gracefully leap, bound by the iridescent hues of a rainbow that arches above them. The ephemeral beauty of the fairies is accentuated by the contrasting backdrop of the solid, earthy landscape below. The 'Sky Fairies' series was a popular phenomenon during the early 1900s, when the belief in fairies and other mythical creatures was still widespread. These postcards were a source of delight for children and adults alike, allowing them to escape the mundane realities of everyday life and enter a realm of wonder and enchantment. Amy Millicent Sowerby was a prolific artist, known for her intricate and detailed illustrations of fairies, elves, and other magical beings. Her work has been celebrated for its ability to capture the essence of childhood innocence and the magical world that lies just beyond our reach. This image of fairies skipping with a rainbow for a rope is a testament to her artistic talent and the enduring allure of the fairy realm.
