Philip A. (Philip Appleby) Robson

Born in Liverpool in 1871, Philip Appleby Robson was the son of the architect Edward Robert Robson. Art-history and architecture reference sources describe him as an English architect who trained under John Loughborough Pearson, later worked with his father, and went on to hold posts in government departments before establishing work of his own.

For readers, his most visible legacy is The Cathedral Church of Saint David's: A Short History and Description of the Fabric and Episcopal Buildings, published in 1901. Library and catalog records confirm the book and show it as a detailed, illustrated study of the Welsh cathedral, blending historical background with close attention to the building itself.

Some reference sources give his lifespan as 1871 to 1951, while older catalog entries simply list him as born in 1871. Because information about portraits of Philip Appleby Robson himself was not clearly available, the image field is left blank here.
