Phillip Litchfield was a prolific producer of bookplates in interwar Sydney. Although predominantly a woodcutter, he often substituted scraperboard for timber because it was quicker to work. His own undated woodcut bookplate with Eve holding a burning torch aloft beside the serpent is illustrated in The Age of Ex Libris: Bookplates from the Library’s Collection , Baillieu Library MU, 1996, n.
Litchfield’s younger brother Geoff Litchfield was also a regular contributor of cartoons to the Bulletin and Home throughout the 1920s.
