I now bless you with what might be the only surviving photograph of Radclyffe Hall smiling (that I could find and I looked). 

Una smiles more often, but Hall almost never does, from what I found. 

#I mean they were born in the late Victorian era so that could have been part of it #but for some reason I was like NO her smile exists somewhere #I get the feeling someone was telling a joke or something and they caught her laughing/grinning but maybe I'm wrong #this is from 1934 I think so they're both in their early fifties here I think #radclyffe hall #una tourbridge #lesbian history #lesbian pride #1930s #british writers #british artists #mad respect ladies mad respect #old photographs #vintage lgbt #early 20th century #lgbt history #modernist writers #british poets #brit lit #lesbian couples #gay couples #black and white photograph #is that enough tags? #british newspaper archives.blog.uk #the well of loneliness #radcylffe hall's smile #happy couples

In Memoriam Tom Phillips

This past Monday, November 28, 2022, the highly-acclaimed British visual artist Tom Phillips died after a long illness. He was 85 years old. Phillips was a prolific artist in a broad range of disciplines: he was a painter, printmaker, book artist, illustrator, collagist, musician, translator, concrete poet, curator, and composer and librettist of operas. He is perhaps most widely remembered, however, for his several editions of an altered book he titled A Humument, several editions of which we hold (shown below).

We are especially honoring his memory today with this display of original etchings from Phillips’s large 1979 portfolio collection 1263 Heads: I Had Not Known Death Had Undone So Many, printed in an edition of 110 copies with each plate signed and numbered by the artist. The title is an allusion to lines in Dante’s Inferno, where the poet observes a procession of souls damned to hell. This suite of prints is often called “The Dante Folio.” Not long after the portfolio’s publication, Phillips published his own limited-edition translation of the Inferno, illustrated with his original prints, in 1983.
