Studies in ArchitectureInscribed to front free end paper 'To Mum from Anthony 6.ii.1958.' Anthony was his mother's favourite, her 'Benjamin'. Years later she would tell people how as a very small boy he had been solicitous of her, always trying to carry her heavy luggage, and performing other small feats of gallantry. She coddled him. 'My mother was very close to Anthony,' Christopher Blunt later told an interviewer. 'He was slightly delicate as a child but my mother exaggerated this and would give him tonics all the time.' US$371.
