More Information

Grey-green paper-covered notebook originally containing one signature of cream lightweight wover paper 162 x 201mm. The cover has the words THE JUNIOR/DRAWING BOOK/NAME:/PHILIP & TRACEY, L.T.D., LONDON, S.W.9 printed in dark grey across the centre of the front and is inscribed in pencil upper right KM/1930-31.  The letters KM denote the Kroller-Muller Museum in Holland, the venue of a Moore exhibition in 1968, and the notebook was dated for this exhibition. On the front cover top right is a circled 1 in ballpoint pen (not in the artist's hand) which gives the notebook its title. Except for HMF 832 the pages are unsigned and undated, some are detached and others are missing.  HMF 823-831 remain bound into the notebook and HMF 832 and 833 have been ascribed to it.
