Scope and Contents
The drawing depicts a quilt made from calling cards of prostitutes who leave their cards in telephone booths of the Soho section of London. Phillips made several large collages using this material at the time the drawing was made. The poem reads "in Styria hard and dirty - the Princess under three legs - came and came - come Princess - come to our room to be beaten again - she came - long and wild - and came hard." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
