Frank C Pape - "The Story Without an End" (1913) [Spirit of the Ages Collection]

The Story Without an End (1912)

Illustrated by Frank C Papé

According to the dedication provided by Sarah Austin in The Story Without an End,

she translated the tale from the German of Carové at the behest of her own child

who, "wished that other children might share the delight it has so often afforded".

The Story Without an End is a wide and magnificent book which contains wonderful

and glorious things - as any good fairytale should - and as Austin herself suggests,

"to discover all its beautiful meanings, you must have pure, clear eyes, and an

humble, loving heart".

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.

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.
