Our drawing is on the front cover and described and illustrated on pages 24 & 25. Our drawing illustrated the theme of this exhibition and was something of a “star of the show”. The text within the book deals at length with the relationships of Moore (a rather difficult man) with his publishers. There are several photographs of the artist alongside Gerald Cramer.
