yep - the ones that convinced arthur conan doyle and many others that there were real fairies -- of course they are just pictures snipped out of a children's book

(oddly enough - i'm planning to make a quick detour on a trip i'm taking today to Hydesville, NY - where the Fox sisters reported hearing mysterious 'knockings' in the late 19th century - an event that almost single-handedly started the 'new spirtualist' movement eventually leading to the whole photographing fairies thing) - i'll keep my ears peeled for knocking
