Alphaeus Philemon Cole

Post by uscss.Nostromo »

is the artist who painted the portrait of Pamela Colman Smith on the cover of the US Games publication:
"Pamela Colman Smith: The Untold Story "

I was curious as to who painted the portrait of P.C. Smith and after an easy Google search discovered the identity of this unsung hero; although the book will undoubtedly give him praise and credit.......at least credit if not praise.

I like his style and I thought it was appropriate to bring to light the life of the artist who immortalized the celebrated "pixie" on canvas.

here is more information about the connection between the two artists:

Excerpt:

"In about 1902, after completing his studies in France, Cole moved to England where he met the sculptress, Margaret (aka Peggy or Pigotty) Ward Walmsley; he married her in 1903. Peggy Cole was a close friend of Pamela Colman Smith, and it was through her that Alphaeus met "Pixie." The Coles became frequent attendees at Smith's weekly open house parties."
