Tom Phillips in his book "Works and Texts" (1992) comments on this work as follows. "Borrowing his [Owen Jones] format, I have made an assemblage of the various pieces of ornamental paper that litter these streets [Camberwell] in 1976 and have tried to treat them with the care that would have been their automatic right were they the sweet-wrappers of Babylon or the fancy paper-bags of Troy. These various unconsidered triffles are presented in their natural sizes and surrounded by a decorative border which is the much enlarged back of a humdrum playing card: although one of the cheapest kinds of plasticated cards, the deliberate intricacy is still delicate and well-drawn on this scale. This print constitutes one of six prints from walking around 1/2 mile around Phillips studio - it is based on the belief that there are no dull walks, only dull walkers. As Phillips'career progressed, he turned to "Ornament" as one of his paralell styles of art. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
