Real FAIRIES Caught on Camera? | The Cottingley Fairies at the Book Fair
Do you believe in [Cottingley] Fairies? This year at the NYIABF I saw some original prints of these famous fairy photographs taken in Cottingley, England between 1917-1920. The history of the Cottingley Fairies is really interesting, with a legacy lasting over 60 years! It's a charming hoax, with an extra bit of magic added (watch the end of the video to see what I mean).

    I think about her a lot. Looking at Jane's facial reconstruction, she could have been any girl I went to school with. It just makes me wonder...what was her name? Was she quiet or restless or brave or did she cling to her dreams of a better life? I know I'll never know and it drives me nuts.

    Imagine how Benedict Arnold must have felt. After all he did and sacrificed for the American cause being unappreciated. And then the British officer, the man who literally carried the plans to West Point that could have drastically changed the war, winning the hearts and respects of the American army based just off his conduct. That had to have stung for Arnold.

    Arnold was also the best battlefield general Washington had in the early part of the war, and won the critical Second Battle of Saratoga in 1777, which convinced the French to throw their full weight behind the American cause. And he was wounded _again_ in the same battered leg that had been wounded before. But by 1780, he was tired of the bloodletting and frustrated by the American rejection of peace terms offered by the British. He was still a dislikable man, but he did want an end to the war.

    @TheCuriousWorld 23 дня назад

    More fun facts about the Cottingley Fairies: 1. While the girls themselves did not doctor any photos, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's associate, Edward Gardner of the Theosophical Society, asked photography expert Harold Snelling to "enhance" the glass plate negatives to better show the fairies and make them stand out in the image. So, while the negatives were confirmed to be "genuine," they were still "improved" for better clarity. The enhancement makes it look almost like the fairies themselves are glowing, which added to the idea that they were real. 2. You may wonder why anybody believed that these were real photos, when they look very clearly faked to us today. Well, people DID doubt them very much. But at the same time, this was the early days of amateur photography and many people then were not as immediately skeptical of photographic evidence as we are now. And, the fact that these photographs were analyzed by experts and nobody could say for *certain* whether they were faked, also lent itself to the idea that mere children did not have the capacity to create such a complex fakery that would fool even the best in the field. 3. Also, self-proclaimed psychics/clairvoyants visited Cottingley themselves to look for these ethereal creatures. And THEY TOO reported seeing fairies, gnomes, etc! So that lent extra credence to it all. 4. Watch Frances and Elsie talk about the Cottingley Fairies in this program from the '80s. (Segment begins at 8:39) ruclips.net/video/iP-R9nhm7Ls/видео.html 5.

    My ancestor Stephen Hokins arrived as relief in the Sea Venture after it shipwrecked in Bremuda. He was at John Roelf and Pocahontas wedding. He would return to England for a few years and then in 1620 bring his wife and children over on the Mayflower, his son Oceanus was born at sea. Of everyone who came in the Mayflower he was tge only person who had already been to the New World and knew how to handle Native American relationships. I'm a direct descendant through his son Giles Hopkins.
