Item Information

Title:
    An anciente mappe of Fairyland : newly discovered and set forth
Description:
    This map of Fairyland depicts places from nursery rhymes, fairy
    tales, Arthurian legends and the folktales of many cultures.
    Sleigh, a fairy and mythology enthusiast, initially sketched a
    map of fairyland to entertain his children, adding characters and
    places from their favorite stories. This map was published in
    1917 and intended to decorate nurseries. After Sleigh retired in
    1937, the print was turned into a decorative fabric for Rosebank
    Fabrics. The print was so popular that Rosebank commissioned
    Sleigh to design other fairy tale patterns for fabrics.
