EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Fairy's Flight on Batback: A Magical Encounter from the Fairy Wings Series" This image, titled "Fairy on Bat," is a charming illustration from the "Fairy Wings" series, published by Humphrey Milford in 1930. The series was created specifically for the delight of children, and this particular print was brought to life by the talented British artist, Hester Margetson. The illustration showcases a delicate and ethereal fairy perched gracefully on the back of a bat. The fairy's gossamer wings, adorned with intricate patterns and iridescent hues, are spread wide, as if ready to take flight. Her tiny, pointed shoes dangle off the edge of the bat's wings, and her delicate fingers cling to the bat's fur. The bat, with its outstretched wings and a gentle expression, seems to be accommodating the fairy's unexpected visit. The background of the print is filled with an enchanting forest scene, complete with trees, flowers, and other mystical creatures. The colors are rich and vibrant, adding to the overall whimsical and magical atmosphere. This image is a beautiful representation of the close relationship between nature and the magical realm of fairies. It encourages children to use their imaginations and believe in the enchanting world that exists just beyond their own. The "Fairy Wings" series, with its captivating illustrations, was undoubtedly a source of joy and wonder for children in the 1930s, and continues to be a cherished piece of art and nostalgia for generations.
