Archive of the Limited Edition of Dante's Inferno: Canto XXXII/3 / Phillips, Tom., 1983
XXXII/3 `Caina's depth', as Dante tells us in Canto V, holds the murderer of Paolo and Francesca (Gianciotto Malatesta); when we arrive theres however, he is not mentioned. As a reminder that their story encompasses via its participants the whole of Hell, the murder is recapitulated here: this also points to the re-echo of 'Eve' in the next Canto. Here in the lowest Hell love is dead: and here lies the legitimate lover who killed love. Muybridge might also have found his way down here and therefore it is doubly right that his doves AloNna Ten Ileat btoken and separated and. subject to scrambled photographic processes. With the lurid ghosts of the kinsfolk/lovers on his mind, and their blood on his hands, Gianciotto tumbles down. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Archive of the Limited Edition of Dante's Inferno: Canto XXXIV/1 / Phillips, Tom., 1983
Canto XXXIV/1 One of the fears that any illustrator of Dante has is how to cope with his final apocalyptic monster, the three-headed Prince of Darkness in all his black grandeur. As so often the problem by accident presented its own solution. While I was working on Canto XVII/1 and fitting together the transparencies of the Turin Shroud head of Christ, I chanced to turn one of the negatives upside-down and saw in the image a weird physiognomy, which although made out of the features of Jesus seemed to be the epitome of scowling evil. Since Satan is the pattern of the Antichrist and is said to retain in his face some residue of glory, this inverted negative of the holiest of faces seemed more than apposite. Repeated thrice as the last travesty of the Trinity the undoctored features do the work. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Archive of the Limited Edition of Dante's Inferno: Half-title. Inferno / Phillips, Tom., 1983
This heralds the use throughout the book of a verbal commentary made up of treated fragments of the Victorian Novel A Human Document by W. H. Mallock, which else forms the basis of A Humument (Thames and Hudson 1980). Phillips comments: Having once boasted that Mallock's turgid text was an inexhaustible mine I here put it to its sternest test, to parallel the visual commentary of the plates with verbal glosses that might act as an alternative line of markers as the reader follows Dante's journey. I have been using Mallock's book now for twenty years; another twenty or so and we both might make it to Paradise. The image here presents a marbled world (the world as book) with a missing segment to indicate the hollowed cone of hell, here oriented sideways to act as an arrow pointing into the book. In Taoist cosmology Ch'i, the moving spirit of the universe, is expressed in art by marbling. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
