whose career spanned 64 years, from 1898 to 1962. Papé's work included painting using gouache, water colour, and illustration in pen and ink. Papé illustrated many books and magazines produced in the early part of 20th century by major publishers. His work illustrated such varied writers as Homer, Suetonius, Rabelais, Spenser, Bunyan, Defoe and others. Papé is best known for his illustrations for books published in the 1920s by the American writer James Branch Cabell and the French writer

Anatole France (; born ; 16 April 1844 – 12 October 1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters.Clement Shorter said readers of Cabell's '' Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice'' would be "enticed into the absorption of this book by the luxury of its illustration. The drawings are by Frank C. Papé and are certainly very beautiful and quaint". A 1928 review said Papé was "renowned among collectors of modern first editions for his decorations in the books of Cabell and France". The growing "cult of Papé" resulted in a character in Alec Waugh's novel ''Kept'' (1925) referencing Papé's illustrations in Cabell's 1921 novel ''Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice'' - "For several minutes she remained bent over Pape’s illustrated ''Jurgen''. 'How good they are,' she said. 'I should doubt if an artist has ever entered more completely into the spirit of the writer...' ". Cabell described Papé's illustrations as "opulent in conceits and burgeons and whimseys" in the preface of the 1925 reissue of his '' Figures of Earth''. During the second decade of the 20th century, Papé made extensive contributions to a number of collections of fairy, folk and other children's tales, as well as illustrating the ''

Early life, family and education

Papé was born in Camberwell, London, on 4 July 1878, the second of Julius Eduard Paul (1848-1894) and Margaret Cheyne (née Johnston) (1853-1903) Papé's four children. By the time Papé was in high school, his father was a banker in

Early career

Papé showed an incredible attention to detail from the outset of his career. He often developed a singular, particular style for each different book he was illustrating, sometimes using only line in a book's illustrations while other books saw Papé using soft washes of colours or shades of grey. He also was a sly user of humour within his work. His illustration "Timothy began to dance, the booth also began to dance, the table danced" for Richard Wilson's ''The Russian History Book'' shows the book's characters, table, mice, cats and dishes dancing. The letters in Papé's signature are dancing as well.

Magazine illustration

Papé's first known printed illustration work was for a

magazine ''Die Radler'' ("The Cyclist"), later ''Radlerin und Radler''. His work was selected by the magazine before he had turned 20 and before he had finished art school. The magazine printed his illustrations from 1898 to 1902. Papé's earliest work already exhibited many of his later seen personal techniques, including images that violated the frame of the illustration, juxtaposed patterns and a deft interplay between solid black and solid white. Papé provided illustrations for ''

Early art exhibitions and sales

In 1905, Papé was 27 when his work ''The Life And Death Of Siegfried'' sold for £157 () during the Spring Exhibition at the Southport Corporation Atkinson Art Gallery in Merseyside. In 1908, he exhibited a diptych entitled ''St. Christopher'' at the 30th Southport Spring Exhibition in Southport.

Praised by Cabell in his novels

Cabell praised Papé's work in "A Preface To These Pictures" in the 1925 edition of his book '' Figures of Earth'', saying in part "... most of my later writings are being commended to 'Papé collectors'. And indeed, the volume in your hands, I must perforce... regard as Mr. Papé's book, rather than my own book whensoever I quite futilely attempt to sum up his delightful and unarithmetical additions to the text... All these fine things, and many other fine things hereinafter, stay wholly and indisputably the legal children of Frank C. Papé". In the foreword for his novel ''The Cream of the Jest'', Cabell said "The art of Mr. Papé extenuates the inadequacies of the author". Cabell kept a six-page letter from Papé in his copy of ''Something About Eve: A Comedy of Fig-Leaves'' (1929), which was illustrated by Papé. The letter was found after Cabell's death. It may be seen here

Map of "Poictesme"

Papé's map of Cabell's mythical realm of Poictesme, based on Cabell's design, was used as the endpapers for the 1928 edition of ''The Silver Stallion'' published by Robert McBride & Company. Papé aimed to mislead readers, claiming the map was "...drawn from the yellowed parchments of Philip Borsdale, circa 1679" when in fact he had drawn it, even incorporating points of interest from

where he lived. Cabell enthusiasts purchased large format colour broadside prints of the map, advertised as "suitable for framing".

The success of these editions led to The Bodley Head commissioning illustrations by Papé for books of Anatole France, including ''

Contemporary reviews

In 1926, ''The Saturday Review of Literature'' reviewed Papé's illustrations for France's ''Thaïs'' saying, "This, like ''Penguin Island'' and others, is a beautiful book. Papé's fine draughtsmanship with its humorous diablerie, perfectly suits France's fantasies, as it has suited certain of Cabell's".

''Uncle Ray's Corner'' newspaper illustration

Circa 1925, Papé illustrated ''Uncle Ray's Corner'', Ramon Coffman's weekly children's column syndicated in the United States by the Cleveland ''Plain Dealer''. Papé's collaboration with Coffman included a number of book illustrations, including ''Uncle Ray's Story of the Stone-Age People'' (1936) and Coffman's ''The Child's Story of Science'' (1939). Starting in 1945, he continued his collaboration when Coffman launched ''Uncle Ray's Magazine''. Papé contributed to this publication until the mid-1950s, first as art director, then as a staff artist.

Empire Marketing Board

In 1928, Papé illustrated a series of full-colour posters for the

Later career

Economic slowdown curtailed book illustration

During the 1930s, Papé's career faltered. In July 1933 he wrote in an unpublished letter to a Mr. Frank House in Brooklyn, New York about the slowdown in book illustration: "As high class book work seems to be a dead horse, I have devoted most of my time to trying to get other kinds of work — for papers and what-not. There is a proverb: 'When the devil is starving he will eat flies.' "
