Robin Hood and Other Stories of Yorkshire (1915)
Illustrated by Frank C Papé
Robin Hood and Other Stories of Yorkshire was published in 1915 by the London firm of Thomas Nelson & Sons Ltd. The First Edition - carrying the illustrations by Papé included tales such as "The Hobman", "The Death of Robin Hood", "The Boy and His Wages", "Legends of the Men of Austwick", "The Fairy and the Ring" and "Potter Thompson's Adventure".
Papé's colour contributions to Robin Hood and other stories of Yorkshire are a lovely little folk-ish collection, sprinkled with Fairies and classic Yorkshire themes. |

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is hand-finished and the images are presented on Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each card carries information about Frank C Papé, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.
Should you wish to order a reproduction print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below. Each of our Fine Art Posters is prepared with archival quality papers and inks - and also accompanied by information about Frank C Papé, this suite and the profiled illustration.
