EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Victorian-era fairies as they gather around a roaring fire on a frosty Christmas night. This image, dating back to the 1890s, depicts a group of rather savage-looking fairies huddled together in the undergrowth, surrounded by winter vegetation and the crisp, white snow. Dressed in the furs and skins of rodents, these fairies exude a raw, primal energy as they prepare their dinner - a plump rat roasting over the open flames. The fairies' intense focus on their meal is evident in their determined expressions, their eyes fixed on the sizzling meat as they poke and turn it with long, thin sticks. The fire crackles and pops, casting an eerie, orange glow over the scene, while the flames dance and flicker, illuminating the dark, moody background. Despite the festive nature of the Christmas season, these fairies seem to be more concerned with survival than celebration. The cold winter weather adds an element of danger and urgency to their meal, as they gather around the fire to keep warm and nourished. This historical image offers a fascinating glimpse into the mythical world of Victorian-era fairies, and the harsh realities of life in the undergrowth during the cold, dark winter months.
