About this work

Philip Eglin drew a page for the V&A’s 150th birthday album in 2007. Artists and designers were asked to share what inspires them about the museum’s collection. His contribution was a single drawing, one of 150 unique pages. The album marked the museum’s move to South Kensington in 1857. Eglin chose drawing as his way to respond—no fancy tech, just ink on paper. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
