The right interior of the cards, the rears and the envelopes are blank. The Book of Psalms is one of the books of what may be commonly identified as the Old Testament - that part of the Christian canon drawn from Judaic sources (it roughly corresponds with the Tanakh). Each Psalm is a religious song, or chant - the purpose of which is to focus the worshipper's thoughts on God in praise and adoration. While Hebrew and Muslim traditions hold that authorship of the Psalms is attributed to the Biblical figure of King David, modern linguistic scholars have identified that a number of authors or groups of authors were involved with the Psalms. The Psalms are believed to have first been committed in written form some 1400 years after the reign of King David and thus, a significant oral tradition was responsible for the transmission of the earliest of the hymns from the Davidic period. Papé's depictions of various lines from the Psalms are composed magnificently and are a wonderful complement to themes within the Psalms. Frank C Papé (1878-1972) was an English artist associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. He contributed color illustrations interpreting fairy tales, myths and legend to many titles in his early career - at that time, his artwork carried many Art Nouveau and Pre-Raphaelite influences. Throughout the latter part of his career, Papé contributed to illustrated books almost exclusively with monotone images. Each of these cards is hand-finished and the set will ship free to all destinations. Sold as is with no returns, this set of cards is as described and will be shipped using the fully insured and tracked services of Australia Post (international buyers are responsible for any Customs duties or taxes levied in their own countries).
