EDITORS COMMENTS
A Fairy Went A-Marketing," a captivating image from the early 1920s, showcases the magical encounter between a fairy and a peacock as they embark on a shopping excursion. The ethereal fairy, with her delicate wings spread wide, gracefully flies alongside the magnificent peacock, whose vibrant tail feathers trail behind them. The market scene in the background adds a touch of whimsy and color to the enchanting tableau. The fairy, adorned in a flowing, diaphanous gown, carries a small basket, perhaps to collect fresh flowers or other market delights. Her companion, the regal peacock, struts confidently, his proud gaze fixed on the horizon. The scene is reminiscent of the popular English nursery rhyme, "A Fairy Went A-Marketing," which tells the story of a fairy who goes to the market to buy a red rose for her mother. This image, captured in the twenties, is a testament to the enduring appeal of fairy tales and the magic they bring to our lives. The colorful and intricate details of the fairy and the peacock, as well as the bustling market scene, transport us to a world of enchantment and wonder. The combination of the natural beauty of the fairy and the peacock, along with the vibrant colors and the hint of the market, makes this a truly captivating and magical image. This photograph, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a rare and beautiful reminder of the magic and wonder that exists in even the most ordinary moments of life. Whether used as a decorative piece in a home or as a source of inspiration for an artist, this image is sure to bring a touch of magic and color to any space.
