The Well of St Clare  (1928)

 

Illustrated by Frank C Papé

 

 

 

The Well of St Clare - carrying the illustrations of Frank C Papé - was a translation

(by Alfred Allinson) of the classic work from Anatole France, Le Puits de Sainte

Claire, that had originally been published in the native French version in 1895.

As with other works by France, including La Rôtisserie de la Reine Pédauque and

Les Opinions de Jérôme Coignard, the collection of stories within The Well of

St Clare is centred on the character of Abbé Coignard, who, much like France

himself, was complex, ironic and lovable.

Cover for ''The Well of St Clare'' (1928), illustrated by Frank C Pape

On the left, we show a rare copy of

The Well of St Clare published with Papé's

illustrations for the first time in 1928.

 

This example retains the original decorative

gilt-stamped black cloth cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Like the text being illustrated, Papé's images are at one moment detailed and spiritually powerful, while the next they

may be more simple and abstract. As always, they appear to be a perfect complement to the text.
