Vivien and Merlin, UK, 1874 / src: Harvard Art Museums
‘Vivien and Merlin’ was originally created at the poet Alfred Tennyson’s request, to illustrate a new edition of his Idylls of the King, a retelling of the legend of King Arthur. Cameron went on to produce a two-volume set of original prints, including this scene in which Vivien seduces Merlin in an attempt to charm him into revealing the secrets of his power.

Takarazuka Girl, ca. 1920 – Unknown photographer. “Probably a Takarazuka Girl, if she had been born only 30 years earlier, she might have become a talented Geisha. Although my photo title paints her as a Japanese ‘Tinkerbell’, as flickr poster Muiz Anwar points out below, she is a Bumblebee or a bee, and not a Fairy.”
