<!--Doyle was preoccupied with organising an imminent lecture tour of Australia, and in July 1920, sent Gardner to meet the Wright family. By this point, Frances was living with her parents in Scarborough,[16] but Elsie's father told Gardner that he had been so certain the photographs were fakes that while the girls were away he searched their bedroom and the area around the beck (stream), looking for scraps of pictures or cutouts, but found nothing "incriminating".[19]
가드너가 돌아간 뒤로 8월 19일까지 날씨가 사진을 찍기에 좋지 않았다. 프랜시스와 엘시가 페어리들은 다른 사람들이 보고 있다면 나타나지 않을 것이라고 계속 말했기 때문에, 엘시의 어머니가 여동생과 차를 마시기 위해 떠나게 되었고, 마침내 그들은 혼자가 됐다. 그녀가 없을 때 소녀들은 몇 장의 사진을 찍었고, 그중 두 장에서 페어리들이 나타났다. 첫 사진인 〈프랜시스와 뛰는 페어리〉에서, 프랜시스는 그녀의 코 가까이에 날개달린 페어리를 지켜보고 있다. 두번째 사진인 〈엘시에게 [[헤어벨]] 꽃다발을 내미는 페어리〉는, 가지 위에 떠 있거나 한 발로 서 있는 페어리가 엘시에게 꽃을 건내는 장면이 담겼다. 이틀 후에 그들은 마지막 사진, 〈페어리들의 일광욕〉을 찍었다.


Gardner believed the Wright family to be honest and respectable. To place the matter of the photographs' authenticity beyond doubt, he returned to Cottingley at the end of July with two W. Butcher & Sons Cameo folding plate cameras and 24 secretly marked photographic plates. Frances was invited to stay with the Wright family during the school summer holiday so that she and Elsie could take more pictures of the fairies.[19] Gardner described his briefing in his 1945 Fairies: A Book of Real Fairies:
사진 원판들은 솜으로 포장돼 런던에 있던 가드너에게 돌아갔고, 가드너는 ‘환상적인’ 전보를 멜버른에 있던 도일에게 보낸다{{Sfn|Magnusson|2006|p=101}}. 도일은 ‘먼 오스트레일리아에서 당신의 기록과 우리의 출판 결과물을 확증하는 세장의 놀라운 사진을 받았다는 것이 너무 기쁩니다 … 우리는 교령회에서 앞으로도 가시적 징조가 다가올 것이라는 지속적인 메시지를 받았습니다’고 답장했다{{Sfn|Magnusson|2006|p=101}}.


I went off, to Cottingley again, taking the two cameras and plates from London, and met the family and explained to the two girls the simple working of the cameras, giving one each to keep. The cameras were loaded, and my final advice was that they need go up to the glen only on fine days as they had been accustomed to do before and tice the fairies, as they called their way of attracting them, and see what they could get. I suggested only the most obvious and easy precautions about lighting and distance, for I knew it was essential they should feel free and unhampered and have no burden of responsibility. If nothing came of it all, I told them, they were not to mind a bit.[20]

<!--An enthusiastic and committed spiritualist, Doyle hoped that if the photographs convinced the public of the existence of fairies then they might more readily accept other psychic phenomena.[24] He ended his article with the words:
 
The recognition of their existence will jolt the material twentieth century mind out of its heavy ruts in the mud, and will make it admit that there is a glamour and mystery to life. Having discovered this, the world will not find it so difficult to accept that spiritual message supported by physical facts which has already been put before it.[24]


Until 19 August the weather was unsuitable for photography. Because Frances and Elsie insisted that the fairies would not show themselves if others were watching, Elsie's mother was persuaded to visit her sister's for tea, leaving the girls alone. In her absence the girls took several photographs, two of which appeared to show fairies. In the first, Frances and the Leaping Fairy, Frances is shown in profile with a winged fairy close by her nose. The second, Fairy offering Posy of Harebells to Elsie, shows a fairy either hovering or tiptoeing on a branch, and offering Elsie a flower. Two days later the girls took the last picture, Fairies and Their Sun-Bath.[21]
Early press coverage was "mixed",[25] generally a combination of "embarrassment and puzzlement".[26] The historical novelist and poet Maurice Hewlett published a series of articles in the literary journal John O' London's Weekly, in which he concluded: "And knowing children, and knowing that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has legs, I decide that the Miss Carpenters have pulled one of them."[25] The Sydney newspaper Truth on 5 January 1921 expressed a similar view; "For the true explanation of these fairy photographs what is wanted is not a knowledge of occult phenomena but a knowledge of children."[20] Some public figures were more sympathetic. Margaret McMillan, the educational and social reformer, wrote: "How wonderful that to these dear children such a wonderful gift has been vouchsafed."[25] The novelist Henry De Vere Stacpoole decided to take the fairy photographs and the girls at face value.[20] In a letter to Gardner he wrote: "Look at Alice's [Frances'] face. Look at Iris's [Elsie's] face. There is an extraordinary thing called Truth which has 10 million faces and forms – it is God's currency and the cleverest coiner or forger can't imitate it."


The plates were packed in cotton wool and returned to Gardner in London, who sent an "ecstatic" telegram to Doyle, by then in Melbourne.[22] Doyle wrote back:
Major John Hall-Edwards, a keen photographer and pioneer of medical X-ray treatments in Britain, was a particularly vigorous critic:[27]


My heart was gladdened when out here in far Australia I had your note and the three wonderful pictures which are confirmatory of our published results. When our fairies are admitted other psychic phenomena will find a more ready acceptance ... We have had continued messages at seances for some time that a visible sign was coming through.[22] -->
On the evidence I have no hesitation in saying that these photographs could have been "faked". I criticize the attitude of those who declared there is something supernatural in the circumstances attending to the taking of these pictures because, as a medical man, I believe that the inculcation of such absurd ideas into the minds of children will result in later life in manifestations and nervous disorder and mental disturbances.[20]

Doyle used the later photographs in 1921 to illustrate a second article in The Strand, in which he described other accounts of fairy sightings. The article formed the foundation for his 1922 book The Coming of the Fairies.[9] As before, the photographs were received with mixed credulity. Sceptics noted that the fairies "looked suspiciously like the traditional fairies of nursery tales" and that they had "very fashionable hairstyles".[20]
