Fairy

“Someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” – C.S Lewis.

Welcome to the most magical archive of vintage fairy illustrations! Gnomes, fairies, pixies, nymphs and sprites unite! The perfect way to add a touch of magic to any project, here you’ll find copyright free downloads to use as you wish!

Mostly sourced from vintage children’s fairytale books in the public domain, we love the way the stories come through these rich fairyland scenes. Rainbows, magic forests, bird-friends and toadstools, not to mention spider-silk dresses and translucent butterfly-like wings.
