The Fairy Circus (1931) is a wonderful tale of fairy folk written and illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop.
The whimsical tale is brought to life in a brilliant fashion by Lathrop's suite of illustrations that includes gorgeous
examples in colour and numerous stunning images in monotone. Her suite of images was so significant that it
received The Newbery Honor - a citation conferred by the American Library Association.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-in plates - in homage to the hand-crafted
approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century.
Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-in plate and the images are presented on
Ivory card stock (in the case of colour illustrations) or White card stock (in the case of monotone illustrations)
with an accompanying envelope. We have left the cards blank so that you may write your own personal
message.
Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print or an individual Greeting Card from this suite of images, simply
click on the illustration and you will be taken to a new screen where you may select from a variety of sizing
options and organise payment through our Shopping Cart secured with PayPal. Of course, should you require a customised
preparation, we welcome your contact through ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful images from Dorothy Lathrop.
