The Password to Fairyland (1920) presents Southwart's magical tale of a little girl - Elaine - who finds herself in Fairyland

and her adventures therein. As illustrated - in colour and monotone - by Florence Anderson, this gorgeous 1st Edition is

a wonderful example of a sumptuously illustrated post-Edwardian childrens' book.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-in plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is

hand-finished and and the images are presented on Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each

card carries information about Florence Anderson, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the

interior of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.

 

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below.

Each of these large format prints is also accompanied by information about Florence Anderson, this suite and the profiled

illustration.
