Compared prices like crazy. The less expensive one was still big bucks. Called the gallery owner – dude named Geoffrey with proper British accent – who walked me through provenance. Turns out he bought it straight from Barker’s niece in 1992. Sent me close-up photos of paper texture and signature. Still hesitated for three hours. https://fairytales.cc/cicely-mary-barker-flower-fairies-books-where-to-buy-the-original-art/
