This print shows a fairy queen in a light, airy carriage pulled by giant butterflies. Around her, smaller butterflies float in soft colors—yellows, blues, and pinks. Below, a dreamy landscape stretches out with palm trees and distant hills. The fairy queen holds the reins, looking calm as the butterflies lift her off the ground. The scene feels light and magical, almost like a storybook. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
