Cicely Mark Barker's Flower Fairy Alphabet.
Oh, Cicely Mary Barker, you had such a wonderful, whimsical concept, using your sister's kindergarden students and the gardens around you to birth the Flower Fairies! Thank you, and thank you for being influenced by the pre-Raphaelites, such detail and colour and life amidst the somehow more peaceful natural world.
I found a 1934 edition of her book and here are all the plates for sale! How awesome they would look framed in a row in some lucky child's nursery.
