A Grand Folio

An exhibition of works by Tom Phillips R.A. for the recent Folio Society edition of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne. The exhibition will also feature some of Tom’s other works relating to literature. Tom Phillips has produced illustrations to Beckett, Plato, Henry James, Humbert Wolfe, Shelley, Dante, T.S. Eliot, Shakespeare, Cicero, James Joyce and, of course, W.H. Mallock.

…neglect thy pastimes—call forth all the powers and faculties of thy nature—macerate thyself in the service of mankind, and write a grand Folio for them, upon the subject of their noses… (Tristram Shandy, Vol. 2 Chapter XXXI)
