For connoisseurs of Papé's work, we have prepared sets of 8 Greeting Cards displaying each of his major colour images for The Ruby Fairy Book and on the left, we show an example of how these Greeting Cards appear.

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.

 

To purchase, simply click on the appropriate "Add to Cart" button and you will be

taken through to our Shopping Cart secured through PayPal. Multiple purchases will

be consolidated by that feature and shipping and handling costs to any destination in

the world are accommodated by our flat-rate fee of US$20 for every US$200 worth
