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.
