Note 1. XXII 1 P——] Not, perhaps, as I formerly thought, Thomas Phillips, R.A., painter of the portrait of Blake engraved for Blair’s Grave, but more probably Sir Richard Phillips, for whom Blake executed several engravings. (See Russell’s Engravings of William Blake, and edition of Blake’s Letters, passim.) With this thumb-nail sketch of Phillips the reader may be interested to compare the full-length portrait of ‘The Publisher’, drawn by George Borrow in his Lavengro (Vol. II, passim.) [back]
