About the Item
This piece is an original etching, aquatint and roulette by Henry Moore, created in 1981. It is from Moore's album of 15 original etchings, entitled "Animals in the Zoo". Henry Moore was an English artist who was best known for his semi-abstract sculptors and graphic works that always had an element of nature to them. Most of the studies from this series are based on sketches made a couple of years previously to amuse his grandson Gus, which had been interpreted from photographs taken at the London Zoo by Moore’s assistant Michel Muller.
This piece is an example of Plate II of the album in it's final state. It is hand signed as well as signed in the plate. It is numbered from the edition of 65 on Arches paper (see multiple edition sizes below). The frame measures 25.75 x 26.75 inches, the image measures 9.75 x 7.75 inches and the paper measures 21 x 18 inches. This piece was printed by James Collyer and John Crossley of JC Editions, London, 1982 and is embossed with the printer's blind stamp.

Henry Moore
Henry Spencer Moore OM CH FBA was an English artist. He is best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures, which are located around the world as public works of art. As well as sculpture, Moore produced many drawings, including a series depicting Londoners sheltering from the Blitz during the Second World War, along with other prints and graphic works on paper.
His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces. Many interpreters liken the undulating form of his reclining figures to the landscape and hills of his Yorkshire birthplace.
Moore became well known through his carved marble and larger-scale abstract cast bronze sculptures, and was instrumental in introducing a particular form of modernism to the United Kingdom. His ability in later life to fulfil large-scale commissions made him exceptionally wealthy. Despite this, he lived frugally; most of the money he earned went toward endowing the Henry Moore Foundation, which continues to support education and promotion of the arts.
