Henry Moore/The Reclining Figure/Ganymed [Original Editions Ltd, London 1978] or

Henry Moore/The Reclining Figure/Louisiana [Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, 1978]

Published as an album in deluxe and standard editions with a text in English, 'Sculptor and Statues: Homage to Henry Moore' by Stephen Spender. Both editions were divided equally between the two publishers; CGM 471 was printed on all title pages, half of which bear the name 'Ganymed' and half 'Louisiana'. The standard edition contains eight etchings CGM 472-479. The deluxe edition contains two additional etchings CGM 480 and 481, all copies of which were hand-wiped by the artist during the inking of the plates, thus making each print different.

450 x 350mm: 8 unnumbered pages in two leaves, in a leaf of Arches 540 x 920mm bearing the title and CGM 471 on the front, with the etchings each in a leaf of Arches 540 x 920mm with the plate number blind-stamped on the front. CGM 472-479 are on Richard de Bas 521 x 445mm, CGM 480, 481 are on Barcham Green Crisbrook 530 x 447mm with a watermark designed by the artist. All are within a further square folded leaf of Arches blind-stamped with the artist's signature, contained in a pale blue Richard de Bas paper covered Solander box with a vellum spine. The title and the artist's signature are blocked in brown on the front. The title is blocked in brown and the artist's name in black on the spine.
