In the 1983 Tate Gallery exhibition catalogue, the series of Calendar illustrations are discussed: 'The twelve mounts incorporated into this work are the pages of a Victorian photograph album decorated in chromolithography with birds and flowers representing the months. Blake has inserted drawings of fairies suiting the mood of the month' (exhibition catalogue, Peter Blake, London, Tate Gallery, 1986, p. 117).

The sitter is Liberty Blake, the artist's eldest daughter.
