Historical information

CH 124
The photo accompanying the obituary is interesting; it appears to be a cut out section of a larger group photo that was then presented as a solo portrait- an early version of Photoshop!

Statement of significance

The value of the item considered for accession lies in its research value as a dated photograph relating to an early Toodyay family. Often newspapers are not considered for accessioning unless they directly relate to life in Toodyay or represent an excellent intact example of their type, however in this case the image of Phillips is a useful addition to the collection. While the item is only of local significance, it may in the future provide some information for historical researchers.
