The Toils and Travels of Odysseus (1908) is
an illustrated translation of Homer's work from Antiquity, the Odyssey.
The translation is provided by Pease, and in his
Introduction (shown, in part, below), he provides a thoughtful
introduction to the tale.
The Odyssey is a noble poem and an enchanting story. In
beauty of language, wealth of
imagination, and delicacy of feeling, it is one of the
world's great masterpieces. It has,
moreover, the charm of age. Nearly three thousand years
have passed since it was first
chanted by the minstrels, and still we can read the
very words which "held the feasters
spellbound in the shadowy halls".
The suite of illustrations prepared by Frank C Papé as
an illustrative interpretation of Pease's translation provide
a powerful complement to the tale attributed to Homer.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these
images are prepared as tipped-in
plates - in homage to the hand-crafted
approach typical
of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades
of the 20th Century.
Hand-finishing is used to replicate the
visual appearance of a tipped-in plate and the images are presented
on
Ivory card stock (in the case of colour illustrations) or White
card stock (in the case of monotone illustrations)
with an accompanying envelope. We have left 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. Of course, should you wish to
discuss some customised options, we welcome
your contact on any matter
through
