Illustrious Illustrations
These magnificent vintage images are just the thing to fill your head with visions of sugar plum fairies. Packed full of galleries of beautiful illustrations by Maxfield Parrish, Aubrey Beardsley, William Morris, Gustave Doré, Arthur Rackham and others with prints one can buy of any illustration, Artsy Craftsy includes a sumptuous collection of Victorian Fairies illustrations. The site also has the illustrated Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, illustrations of cats in fairy tales, Magic Cats, and a selection of beautiful free ecards.
To find a free ecard from the illustrations, one can click on the caption for that illustration. For example on the Dulac page, if one scrolls down the page to the caption, “Firebird” (seen above) and clicks on that, it can be sent as an ecard. A good fairy ecard page. Below “Beauty and the Beast.” A lovely and captivating idea. [metafilters]
Do not grieve for what you have left behind.
A far higher destiny lies before you. Only, if you would deserve it,
beware of being mislead by appearances.
