Caption | An anciente mappe of Fairyland. This map of Fairyland depicts places from nursery rhymes, fairy tales, Arthurian legends and the folktales of many cultures. Sleigh, a fairy and mythology enthusiast, initially sketched a map of fairyland to entertain his children, adding characters and places from their favorite stories. This map was published in 1917 and intended to decorate nurseries. After Sleigh retired in 1937, the print was turned into a decorative fabric for Rosebank Fabrics. The print was so popular that Rosebank commissioned Sleigh to design other fairy tale patterns for fabrics. Creator/Contributor/Contributor: Sleigh, Bernard, 1872-; Sidgwick & Jackson; Vincent Brooks, Day & Son. Date: 1917. Sourced from Digital Commonwealth website. |
