Note du spécialiste

The bookcase is visible in the background of the portrait of Phillipps’s grandson Thomas Fitzroy Fenwick by E.I. Halliday, reproduced in Phillipps Studies. It was acquired by Anthony Hobson from Philip and Lionel Robinson, probably as a gift, during their collaboration to disperse the residue of the Phillipps collection through a series of sales at Sotheby’s, as well as through the Robinsons’ own bookseller catalogues.
