This notebook is the design plan for Phillips Dante's Inferno on a page by page basis. It consists of images drawn in their proper sequence and detailed descriptive notes. For each canto, one page is filled with ink and ink colored sketches, instructions and diagrams that face the ink drawn structural design of the pages for the limited edition. For some cantos, an additional page of drawings and instructions is present on an adjacent page. There are hundreds of sketches in this book. On page iii, Phillips writes, "Sacrifice either Gateway image or stag & head image or bitter boating." The Sackner Archive contains a Gateway print from the Editions Alecto set with the word NO written on it; this image did not appear in the Talfourd Press Edition. These preliminary drawings and descriptions by Phillips are a rich study in the evolving imagery and background information leading to the finished prints. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
