Cicely Mary Barker was an English illustrator who created the Flower Fairies, images of ethereal smiling children with butterfly wings. As a child, she was greatly influenced by the works of the illustrator Kate Greenaway, whom she assiduously copied in her formative years. Her principal influence, however, which she duly credited, was the art of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
