Artist

John Phillips

John Phillips is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Phillips turned out prints in the 1820s London press world, where broadsides and news sheets were the daily art. One surviving sheet in the collection shows a busy street scene under the date 2 September 1827. It’s a snapshot of life before photographs, packed with tiny figures, carriages, and shopfronts that feel like a visual newspaper. Next tap the print itself to zoom in on those crisp lines and everyday details.
