Frank Cheyne Papé, who generally signed himself Frank C. Papé (b. Camberwell, July 4, 1878 - d. Bedford, May 5, 1972); English artist and book illustrator. He studied at The Slade School of Fine Art, completing his studies circa 1902-04. Papé was married to a fellow Slade student, illustrator Alice Stringer. Papé's first known work, for E. Clement's Naughty Eric, published in 1902, remains extremely rare. One copy is held by The British Library. An original pen and ink illustration from one of the stories, The Magic Stone, has been found in Sussex, England. Papé's next earliest illustrations are found in books for children from around 1908, including The Odyssey and The Pilgrim's Progress. During the second decade of the 20th Century he made extensive contributions to titles including The Gateway to Spenser - Stories from the Faërie Queen; The Pilgrim's Progress; The Golden Fairy Book; The Book of Psalms; As It Is In Heaven; The Story Without an End; Robin Hood and Other Stories of Yorkshire; and The Russian Story Book. By 1911, Papé was a highly successful book illustrator. WWI brought a decline in Britain's illustrated book market, affecting Papé's livelihood. He enlisted in the Royal Army Service Corps in 1915 and served on the Greco-Bulgarian front. Papé's career was revived in the early 1920s through his illustrations for a number of books by James Branch Cabell, which brought him new acclaim in the US. These books from Biography of the Life of Manuel, included Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice (1921, originally in a limited edition), The High Place, Something about Eve and The Cream of the Jest. These illustrations often wittily paralleled the double entendres in Cabell's writing. In the preface to the 1925 edition of his book Figures of Earth, Cabell praised the fitness of Papé's style for these works. ...By the end of the 1950s, his eyesight was in serious decline, and his only known work in the 1960s...
