The exhibition featured studio portrait postcards (c.1900-1935) of ordinary British people that were classified according to Phillips in terms of the imagery and content, e.g., Aspidistra; Backgrounds: Studio Seas; Make Believe: Children; Picnic; House: the Terrace; Fantasy Transport: by Car; Dance; Workers: the Factory, etc. Tom Phillips wrote the introduction and James Fenton contributed the Preface: Collecting Postcards. In the latter, Fenton distinguishes between Selective and Accumulative collecting and notes that Phillips' postcards are an excellent example of accumulative collecting. He notes that Phillips has assembled over 50,000 postcards and sorted them into 120 categories. Page 125 in the Pram category depicts Tom Phillips and his brother as babies in a Pram. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
