At the end of this section on Paul's Interior Artwork, I have info on: (A) Unknown Pauls and Mysteries; (B) Is It a Paul or a Copy? (C) Additional Work / Architectural Designs; (D) a big section on Essays & Articles by and about Paul / Covers and Reprints; (E) Japanese Re-Prints and Rip-Offs of Paul; (F) Unattributed Work that Is Probably Not Paul's.
A major source for this list was Science-Fiction: The Gernsback Years, meticulously researched and compiled by Everett F. Bleiler (with the assistance of Richard J. Bleiler), Kent St. Univ. Press, 1998. This book is basically a cross-referenced index of every story for Amazing, Astounding, Wonder and other genre magazines from 1926 to 1936. His list also notes who illustrated the various pieces.
Bleiler's data was combined with my on-going research into the early and late Gernsback publications (Science & Invention, Science Fiction Plus, and Forecast) and other magazines (such as Comet and Famous Fantastic). The total so far of known Paul interior artwork is an astounding 570+ stories illustrated - and that doesn't take into count multiple illustrations for serialized stories.
[Bleiler also notes that there is a partial list of Paul's work in A Biographical Dictionary of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists, 1988, Robert Weinberg, Greenwood, Westport, CT; a book I have not yet been able to track down.]
As far as which illustrations to include images of... I leaned more toward illustrations from the harder-to-find magazines (e.g., those other than Amazing or the Wonder magazines). But I have included some illustrations from Amazing and Wonder that I found particularly amazing or wonderful.
I now have listed close to 600 interior artwork pieces, though it's been said that Paul did over 1000 (Fantasy Fiction Field, a fanzine founded by Julius Unger, July 2, 1963, whole no. 13).
If it blows your mind that Paul did all these pieces of artwork in one lifetime, consider this: The list doesn't even cover the uncounted (and mostly uncredited) multitudes of technical drawings he did for Gernsback and others through the years. Whew.

Baron Munchausen's New Scientific Adventures, Electrical Experimenter, 1915-1917; reprinted in Amazing Stories, 1928.
Cartoon, Electrical Experimenter, Feb. 1919
The text of the cartoon reads, in various places: "Time to send: Verboten!" "Only 500 watts in the antenna" "Only inductive coupling for sending" "Spark coils Verboten!" Licensed Station? Wireless Station (license) Revoked" "It's the cutest little time table: U.S. Navy time limit table: Station shall not be operated between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 a.m." "Ambition (is) the Key (to) Progress: Verboten" "Tel receiver: Verboten!" "15 year old radio amateur: Verboten!" "Electrical Experimenter: Censored" "Wireless telephone limited to 125 Watts" "What the radio astronomer can do!!!" And the German walking out with the Verboten signs has the name "Alexander" on his back and his pail says "Smarty Alec Paste."
This cartoon was reprinted in the April, 1958, Radio Electronics, vol. 29 (4), p. 48-49. The text reads, in part, "With the [first World] war over, the question of 'regulating the [radio] amateur' came up again. The 65th Congress proposed to amend the Alexander Wireless Bill, but the proposed amendment forbade so many things essential to the amateur that the editor was moved to lampoon the bill in a bitter cartoon in the February [1919] Electrical Experimenter. The bill was killed. The hated demon had been effectively exorcised by the power of the cartoonist's pen and of the printed word. / The Acting Secretary of the Navy announced that, effective April 15, 1919, all restriction were removed on radio receiver stations other than those used for reception of commercial traffic." [Thanks to Richard Cohen for sending me this.]

A Fairyland of Bubbles, Science and Invention, Jan. 1921. Image and detail:
"Altho It May Sound Quite Impossible, a Wonderful Castle Such as the One Here Shown, May Be Constructed Entirely of Permanent, Colored Soap Bubbles After the Manner Described in the Accompanying Text. The Art of Blowing Permanent Soap Bubbles Which Will Last a Year or More, Opens Up an Entirely New Field of Experimentation for Those Interested in Scientific Matters. By Flashing Colored Lights on to the Bubble Structure, Either from Behind or in Front, Very Beautiful Effects Are Readily Produced." The text explains that the bubbles are made of amyl acetate and celluloid.
The Elixir of Life, Science and Invention, Jan. 1921. Detail:
In this story, old Professor Straus discovers an Elixir of Life, each drop of which is capable of turning back the hands of time five years. He uses it here to revitalize an aged, worn-out street cat, whose injured ear and tail are restored.

The Future of Radio (Frontispiece), in Radio For All, Hugo Gernsback, 1922, J.B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia & London:
The Future of Radio - depicting the omnipotence of radio: radio controlled airplanes, radio power distribution, crewless ships controlled by radio (it was noted that U.S. battleships had already been manuvered by radio), correspondence by radio (a sort of fax machine), radio clock, radio power roller skates (which come with a three-pronged headset for collecting power via radio from a nearby power-emitting railing), television and automatic radiophone, radio business controller (sends radio signals, for example, to have steamers loaded and unloaded), and radio heater.

"Ghostly words, apparently from the mouths of different subjects, were distinctly heard. Suddenly, from out of the darkness, came a ghostly vision. A head was seen. Nearer and nearer came the face and floated through space about the room in uncanny fashion. ... And so the ghostly business proceeded. The heads would become visible and invisible. ... Now they were here. ... Then they were there. Finally they vanished altogether. The closing hymn was sung and the elderly gentleman arose from his chair, and proceeded to relight the lamps."

A. Unknown Pauls
AN UNIDENTIFIED PAUL that was on sale at eBay:
Presumably a rocket; apparently dated from c. 1962. Also note that
scribbling at the bottom for layout. FOP (friend of Paul) Richard Cohen
noted that it looks exactly like the ship on the cover of the 1962 (Dec. 1961)
Forecast magazine, which makes a lot of sense.
Does anyone out there have an actual copy of that magazine and could you check and see if this illo is in there? Thanks. Please feel free to email me.
ANOTHER UNIDENTIFIED PAUL
was sent in by Norman Brosterman. Anybody have any idea what this is from?
B. IS IT A PAUL OR JUST A COPY?
I was recently emailed about a painting someone had which may have been the original of the March 1933 Wonder Stories cover painting. He wanted my opinion on if it was the original or not. Here is my analysis and conclusion.
C. ADDITIONAL WORK / ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS
As Sam Moskowitz once wrote: "Scores of major skyscrapers, industrial and office buildings in the Greater New York area were designed by Paul, including the Johnson & Johnson Building in New Brunswick, New Jersey, which, at the time of its completion in 1938, was hailed as the single most outstanding example of industrial architecture in the United States. The complete plans and color sketches for the building are still in the possession of his widow." [Science Fiction Times, vol. 3a, 1963]
Here are two of his wilder, unbuilt designs:
Micromegas, Pavilion design idea for the 1939 New York World's Fair (never built). Original in gouache, in collection of the Museum of the City of New York. Reproduced in the article "Drawing the Future" by Norman Brosterman, American Art Review, December 1996; and in the book Out of Time, also by Brosterman, 2000, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York, p. 10.
20th Century Globe, date unknown (never built). A building design concocted by Hugo Gernsback of, essentially, an enormous globe taller than the Empire State Building. Gernsback commissioned Paul to do some paintings, one of which shows the interior, which features areas for: an astronomical observatory, huge ballroom, lecture halls, planetarium, public library, architecture and allied industries, radio, television, telegraph and telephone, electro-chemistry, photography and motion picture industries, giant theaters, dance halls, banquet rooms and exhibition rooms, lounging rooms and entrances to theaters, dynamo, printing and engraving, painting and sculpture, art galleries, modern hospital equipment, industrial chemistry, lumber industry, paper industry, diesel engine, agricultural implements and road building machines, steel industry, blast furnace, aviation, heavy machinery, rolling mills, cranes, etc., motor transportation, armaments, guns, tanks, etc., railroads, shipping and submarine, oil industry, elevators, and observation platform. Everything imaginable - all in one building! - except for, possibly, living areas. Of course, why would you need living quarters, if you can zoom in with your flying atomic-powered car. The cross-section of the building has - inside it - a dirigible, a cargo ship, and a submarine. Though, curiously, no openings for any of these vehicles to get in or out. Not the most thought-through of Gernsback's concepts. Two paintings reproduced on p. 64, auction catalog, The Sam Moskowitz Collection of Science Fiction, 1999, Sotheby's, New York.
CIGARETTE CARDS
Paul also did a 1936 series of cigarette cards called "The World of Tomorrow" for Mitchell's Cigarettes. The third one, in particular, seems inspired by the 1930 film Just Imagine, which was probably inspired by Paul's work to begin with. The entire set is 50 cards, but it is unclear if they are all by Paul.
John B. Robey has sent me some images:
"Frank R. Paul Interviewed" by Julius Schwartz, in Schwartz's fanzine Fantasy Magazine Dec. 1934/Jan. 1935. reprinted in Aces #14, 2000, ed. Paul M. McCall. While short (only a couple pages), there are some interesting tidbits about Paul. Schwartz notes, for example, that it normally "takes [Paul] one day to do an inside illustration and one week for a the cover, but it all depends if he is pressed for time, in which case he can do four black and white illustrations, or a cover over night. Admits he is sometimes lazy and takes him several days to complete a drawing. Often begins work on one illustration and before finishing it gets to work on another. Thus it often happens that he is working on five illustrations at once. 'Mass production,' he aptly terms." Well, mass production, indeed - if you do over 850 illustrations in a lifetime.
"Bogeyman," nifty article by Stewart Robertson, The Family Circle, Aug. 26, 1938, pp. 18-19, 22-23. With cover illo (sharing cover with photo of Fred Astaire!) with description thereof, p. 3. Primary source for a famous photo portrait of Paul (which, in uncropped version, shows him painting the cover for the issue) and numerous quotations from Paul, including the one wherein he describes certain bizarre stories as having "too much of a muchness." Also reproduces in glorious black and white eleven of his covers.
SF, the Spirit of Youth,
Paul's 1939 Worldcon Guest of Honor speech, reprinted
Personal and Social Adjustment, 1939, Macmillan, featured a book cover line drawing by Paul. This book has chapters on, inter alia, special guides to successful living; social life in the modern world; why people do things; morals and manners; physical and mental hygiene; your character and citizenship.
Dictionary of Discards, by Frank M. Rich, 1952, Avenel Books, NY. This book, which shows you how to make fun and interesting things from old junk, has a cover and interior illos by Paul.
Armageddon 2419 A.D., by Philip Francis Nowlan (the original Buck Rogers novel), was reprinted in 1962 as an Ace paperback. It has a fabulous cover by Emsh and, on the title page, a sketch by Paul:
I presume that this is from Amazing Stories, Aug. 1928 - can anyone out there verify this for me?
Science Fiction Times (Vol 3a, 1963). This was given out at the 1963 World Science Fiction Convention, and had a six-page remembrance of Frank R. Paul, who had just died a few months before. On the cover, he holds a copy of the first issue, April 1926, of Amazing Stories. Also has the 1953 speech “What Makes a SF Fan” given by Paul.
"A Science-Fiction Portfolio: Frank R. Paul Illustrates H. G. Wells" in Amazing Stories, April 1966; this portfolio reprints illos for the Wells stories "Aepyornis Island"; "The Time Machine"; "The Crystal Egg"; "The Island of Dr. Moreau" (Part I); "The War of the Worlds"; "In the Abyss"; and "A Story of Days to Come". Not much text or commentary, but an editorial by Joseph Ross noted about the portfolio that "since [Hugo Gernsback] had a special fondness for Paul - the man as well as the artist - we're certain he'd like the special feature on the greatest s-f artist of them all." Also in this issue were reprints of illos for "The Last Man" by Wallace G. West, and "The Man from the Atom" by G. Peyton Wertenbaker.
"A Portfolio: Frank R. Paul Illustrating Jules Verne," in Science Fiction Classics, No. 1, 1967. This issue featured reprints of stories from Amazing and other magazines, along with their original illos. The Paul portfolio featured his work illustrating not just Verne but also E. E. Smith, including: "A Drama In The Air", originally from Amazing Stories, November 1926; "Robur the Conqueror", Amazing Stories, Dec. 1927 - Jan. 1928; "The Master of the World", Amazing Stories, Feb. 1928; "The English at the North Pole", Amazing Stories, May - June 1926; and three illos for "The Skylark of Space", Amazing Stories, Aug.-Oct. 1928. As an extra bonus, the issue also includes Paul's artwork for "The Magnetic Storm", Amazing Stories, July 1926; and "The Murgatroyd Experiment", Amazing Stories Quarterly, Winter 1929.
Another portfolio of Paul's work appears in Fantastic Stories, March 1967: "Masters Of Fantasy: A. Merritt Illustrated."

Comic Books and Art / The Sam Moskowitz Collection of Science Fiction, catalog for Sotheby's auction, Tuesday, June 29, 1999, Sotheby's, New York. The portion of the auction featuring Sam Moskowitz's collection is quite impressive. Moskowitz, in the words of Isaac Asimov, "fathered" the first science fiction convention; he and Forrest J. Ackerman were the premiere fans/collectors of sci-fi memorabilia. His mouth-watering collection featured numerous first editions of books, rare pulp magazines, and, best of all, lots of original interior and cover artwork, including many Pauls. Many of the Amazing and Wonder covers are reproduced in color; more importantly, many of the harder-to-find interiors and rare magazines like Forecast are also printed. Some additional notes about this truly remarkable collection are here.

The Door Magazine ("The World's Pretty Much Only Religious Satire Magazine"), July/August 2002, had a cover mocking Scientology, and riffing on Paul's cover for Amazing Stories, Aug. 1926:
The Door was actually good enough to acknowledge the tribute (p. 2): "ABOUT THE COVER: One of the extraordinary things about science fiction as a genre is how it continually -- and accurately -- depicts the future. Just for fun, we thought we'd share one more bit of technology that was first imagined by sci fi. This is the cover of the August 1926 issue of Amazing Stories, painted by the legendary fantasy artist Frank R. Paul. It illustrates the story "The Puppet-Master" by famed author Hugo Gernsback. In "Puppet-Master," a hack writer creates an intentionally outlandish religion on a dare that soon has tens of thousands of people actually believing it is real -- and here's the incredible part -- GIVING THE WRITER MONEY! The most frightening thing about the fake religion is that THEIR SOLDIERS ARE LAWYERS. Hee hee hee. Those wacky science fiction guys. What'll they think of next? Um, just for the record, the people painted on the cover of that issue in no way resemble L. Ron Hubbard, John Travolta and Tom Cruise. And the imagineering was NOT executed by Johnny Rutledge." [The bit about the non-existent story "Puppet-Master" is a joke, btw - FW.]
The Fantastic Worlds of Clark Ashton Smith, ed. James Van Hise, 2004, has a cover republishing Paul's ill for "The City of the Singing Flame" (July 1931 Wonder Stories). The book also has numerous other Paul illos.
E. JAPANESE REPRINTS/RIP-OFFS OF PAUL'S WORK
Aizu Shingo is a Science Fiction researcher who lives in Tokyo and has an interest in Gernsback publications' influence in the 1920s-1930s Japanese culture. He writes: "There are some translations of short stories and novels from Gernsback publications in Japanese magazines, often with the photo reproductions of Paul illustrations. There are also few re-drawn cover art of Paul's artworks. For examples, April 1930 issue of the Shonen Sekai (Boy's World) magazine used May 1928 issue of Amazing Stories cover. The Kagaku Gaho (Graphic Science) magazine used Everyday Science and Mechanics covers at least twice in 1934." (He also gave me some additional bibliographic entries for Science and Invention.)
Here is the Feb. 1934 Kagaku Gaho cover (the credited artist is Teiji Takai), along with Paul's cover for the Aug. 1933 issue of Everyday Science and Mechanics.
Here are three images from April 1930 issue of the Shonen Sekai (Boy's
World) magazine:
(1) Front cover of this Japanese magazine (artist unknown). (1a) The
Paul cover for the May 1928 Amazing Stories cover.
The cover illustrates "The Octopus Cycle" by Irvin Lester and Fletcher Pratt,
which tells of giant, ambulatory killer octopi in Madagascar. The
Japanese magazine features Michio Ono's short story "Kuuma Shurai"
("Invasion of Space Monsters") that is, in spite of the Umbrella Beast illustration,
not a translation of "The Octopus Cycle", but rather a Japanese version of H. G. Wells' War of
the Worlds. Note also that for the Japanese cover, the people have
been redrawn, from being white or African, to looking Japanese.

(3)
(2) and (3) are Hiroshi Mineta's interior artwork pieces for this magazine, wherein the octopus-like Martians invade Tokyo. The illustration for (3) was originally spread over two pages, with intervening text. But here the text is removed and the parts of the illustration moved, so it could be shown larger.
F. DUBIOUS PAULs. IS THAT REALLY A PAUL? POSSIBLY NOT.
Every once in a while I receive an email from some who is wondering if a particular cover is by Paul or not. Or they've found an old pulp-style painting and they're trying to figure out who painted it. Usually I pick these things apart and come to the conclusion they're not Paul. Click here to see some of these analyses.
