Scope and Contents

This drawing depicts a self-portrait of Phillips on his 50th birthday. The imagery is of the cricket match. Phillips sponsored such a match at the Oval Stadium in London for his birthday but with one swing of the bat his back went out and he had to retire from the game. The poem reads, "play the shadow of fifty years. - only imagine a century - At last--welcome! - my own myself!" This drawing was exhibited at Phillips' Yale exhibition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
