Philip Smith first developed the concept of the 'book wall' in the late 1960s, with images on each volume flowing on to the covers of the adjacent books, but at the same time forming integral individual images. His versions of Lord of the Rings are the best known examples: in 1973, he and Tolkien were invited at the Craftsman's Art Exhibition to present a set to the Duke of Edinburgh, and in 2003 a monumental wall of 21 volumes was sold at auction for £130,000. The design for the Dante tower structure was drawn up in 1984, but work on the first volume was only begun properly in 1991. Three years later it was completed and exhibited at the British Library. The remaining two volumes were designed in 1999 and completed a year later. The work can be displayed in three separate volumes, or erected vertically to form a contiguous tower using an elaborate three-part perspex case (all parts and instructions supplied).'It is to my mind a rare synthesis of two working, living geniuses giving visual form to a remarkable poem... This extraordinary work is unique in vision and skill... I believe their like will never be equalled' (Timothy C. Ely, in 'Designer Bookbinders newsletter', no. 185, Spring 2019). For his illustration and for providing a new translation of the Inferno, Phillips received the Frances Williams Memorial Prize in 1983, the LA Times writing 'there is no doubt that Tom Phillips has captured Dante for our time'.

And the author of this posthumous volume was not only a poet but no mean critic too. As a result, his approach to English Poetry is not a work of merely casual interest: it is illuminating. No one could fail to be enriched and delighted by its discriminating enthusiasms, its happy quotations, and the no less happy judgements, discoveries, definitions and phrases which it gives us... This premature ending is deeply regretted. But, fortunately for us, the first five chapters are devoted to general and personal observations, and are so full of references to the intervening and modern periods that we can genuinely claim to have here a fair impression of Drinkwater's view of the whole panorama of English Poetry' (routledge.com).

He was present at the affair at Dakka on 15 January 1880, as mentioned in our notebook, before rejoining the Headquarters of the Regiment at Jellalabad. In August 1880 he was appointed Orderly Officer to the Cavalry Brigadier, General Sir Hugh Gough and with the Cavalry Brigade accompanied Lt. General Sir Frederick Roberts on his famous, impressively fast, march from Kabul to Kandahar, and was present at the battle of Kandahar on 1st September. He was the only member of the regiment to receive a bronze star for this epic journey and was mentioned in despatches.After the Afghan campaign, Major Burnley saw service in the first Boer campaign (see lot 13) and retired in 1882, receiving the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in consideration of his distinguished service during the Afghan War.
