The Fairy Circus 1931

"The Fairy Circus" is a black and white illustration by American artist Dorothy Lathrop created in 1931. It features a whimsical scene of fairies performing in a circus, with a drummer, a trumpeter, and other instrumentalists. There is a clown in the foreground, and a large flower petal serves as the stage. The image is filled with detailed drawings of fantastical creatures and playful imagery. The piece embodies Lathrop's signature style of charming, imaginative, and detailed illustrations that often captured a childlike sense of wonder.
