Vintage French collector's card. Scene from L'Exode des fées (Gaston Velle, Pathé Frères 1911). Velle also scripted the film.

Plot: The fairies, having enchanted the childhoods of past generations, have turned their backs on today’s youth—positive and skeptical. Paul, who doesn’t believe in fairy tales, tries to destroy the enthusiastic faith of his little sister Jeanne, who loves to read them. The fairies, scorned, leave the earth; but they will no longer send children their beautiful dreams of yesteryear, and Paul, plagued by terrible nightmares, recalls those he had spoken ill of. And Melusine, Morgane, Urgèle, Viviane, the White Lady, witches, sylphs, and wood spirits return to fill the peaceful nights and joyful evenings of little children with happy dreams.
