Snelling's opinion was that "the two negatives are entirely genuine, unfaked photographs ... [with] no trace whatsoever of studio work involving card or paper models".[8] He did not go so far as to say that the photographs showed fairies, stating only that "these are straight forward photographs of whatever was in front of the camera at the time".[9] Gardner had the prints "clarified" by Snelling, and new negatives produced, "more conducive to printing",[6][7] for use in the illustrated lectures he gave around the UK.[7] Snelling supplied the photographic prints which were available for sale at Gardner's lectures.[10][1]
