Dear Mr. Roger Boulet,
I have come across this coloured woodblock of “Mary at the Lake 1920” in the attic of my uncle. I am trying to figure out the providence of the artwork. Your name comes out in a stamp saying 121/150. Is this an original W. J Phillips or, as curator, did you reproduce this as part of an exhibit?
Thank you for your time,
Alison

I have no idea what exactly you are saying and how “my name comes out in a stamp saying 121/150.” The print may have been reproduced but certainly not as a part of an exhibit that I know of. I would have to see an image of what you are describing here to offer any opinion on the matter.

Mr. Boulet,
I have come across some paintings of Phillips’ around the area of Waterfowl Lake / Mount Patterson in Banff National Park. I don’t see them included in any literature regarding Phillips. Do you know of any references to his work in this area?
Thanks very much,
Ian

Dear Mr. Roger Boulet,
Would you know more about the relationship between Walter Phillips and Ernest Stafford Carlos ?

Unfortunately not, apart from what is stated in the book I wrote on Phillips.
