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.
To purchase, simply click on the "Add to Cart" button
and you'll 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 of purchases.
Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print or an
individual Greeting Card from this suite of images, we
welcome
your contact through
ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful images
from Evelyn Paul.

West's translation - as
illuminated by Paul - reads as follows:
This is a story of the Love of
God.
The Quest of the Saint Graal
This is the story of Sir
Renand and his lady Yvain which was told me by Brother Peter as
we were polishing the cups in the vestment room of the House of
our Lady of the Seven Joys.
For it happened long ago,
Where nor when no man doth
know.
In this land there dwelt a
night
True of heart, of armour
bright.
Fair of mien, and great of
main.
And a lady, sweet Yvain.
Trettis, fettis, debonair.
Maiden of the Golden Hair.
Help me. Blessed Madeleine.
So to tell this tale again
Well and fair

West's translation - as
illuminated by Paul - reads as follows:
Brother Peter told this. He
serves the sick in our monastery.
The Six Saints of Healing
He said "Have you ever heared
the rhyme of the Saints Guerisseurs. My mother used to sing it
over me when I was ill. It is very beautiful.
Il y a six Saints Guerisseurs.
Saint Houarniaale pour le Peur,
Hubert pour morsures de chiens,
Pour maux detête Saint
Livertin,
Saint Meen pour la folie,
Mamert pour melancholie.
Mais Saint. La bin nous
inyouquons
Pour toute éspèce
d'afflictions.
