Cardboard fairies


"The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths. Elsie borrowed her father’s camera and took pictures of what seemed to be fairies. At the time some people weren’t sure whether the photographs were real or not. Many years later, the girls confessed to drawing the fairies on cardboard and placing them in the landscape with pins."
