This seventh page from Dante Diary, which is dated November 2, 1979, has the caption, "MY HAND NOW VIRGILS HAND," rubberstamped at the bottom of the page. The images depict five graphite renderings of hands holding a pencil and a skull placed at the center with Escher-like rooms and figures walking and falling within the skull. The latter was selected by Phillips for his large montage print of illustrative elements from the Dante Diary. In the handwritten text, Phillips describes his problems in finding the right drapery for his figure of Virgil. The verso contains repeated hand sketches in graphite. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
