Synopsis
Born in 1884, Frank R. Paul was slated to study for the priesthood; instead, he studied art and architectural and mechanical drafting. The impact of these studies is evident in his brilliant and original science fiction artwork. To say that Frank R. Paul is the father of science fiction illustration art is an understatement. His fertile imagination, amply demonstrated by the paintings and drawings in this book, speak for themselves and his legacy continues to influence the field today. Here, in this compendium, is the very first collection ever published showcasing many of Paul's full color science fiction artwork along with appreciations and critical essays by Sir Arthur C. Clarke and by Stephen Koshak; Jerry Weist and Roger Hill; Sam Moskowitz; Gerry de la Ree; Forrest J. Ackerman; and Frank Wu., The very first collection ever published showcasing many of Paul's full color science fiction artwork along with appreciations and critical essays.

It took me nearly 20 minutes to get through the packaging. It was astonishing. I'm legitimately impressed. I'm reasonably sure it would have survived being run through by a forklift, and I really appreciate the care taken. My item was also exactly as described and in beautiful condition, and I am completely thrilled! It's hard to assign value to a collector's item but I'm happy and feel it was a fair price
