This volume is a superb illustrated record of Henry Moore's work from the beginning of 1949 to the end of 1954. This was a period in the artist's development notable for large sculptures on a monumental scale and with a public theme. They helped establish Moore as the unrivalled international figure that he is today. These major works are comprehensively illustrated, with a profusion of views and details and in certain cases photographs of earlier stages in their making.

Over 160 illustrations are reproduced, and they include a section devoted to the sculptor's drawings which in many instances show his original conceptions for the sculptures.
