Does anyone have any clue where the "pointed ears" thing came into modern faery imagery?

Hmmm. That's a good question. Here's a link I found that gives the timeline of the historical development of the corresponding Children's Literature. It might help some.

I'll keep looking though. From what I can tell so far, most of the stories and folklore weren't written down until the late 1700's.
