Henry Moore content: brief mentions of Moore on d/w and page 10. The reference to Moore on page 35 carries slightly more significance; in that his work is used as an example to explain the complexities of contructing a "sculptural woven form". A Moore tapestry completed in 1950 entitled Three Figures is included on the complete list of works on page 138 although no image of the piece is reproduced in the book. See Durrants Press Cuttings for images: Architect & Building News 25 Aug 1950 and The Scotsman 16 Aug 1950."
