[MOORE, Henry (1898-1986)] -- SHAKESPEARE, William (1554-1616). Hamlet. Rome: Delfino, [1985]. 2° (477 x 332mm). Abridged text in English edited by Stanley Wells. 10 offset lithographs in colours after Henry Moore, printed tissue-guards. Publisher's binding of full dark brown morocco over wooden boards, rectangular bronze bas-relief 'Hamlet's Dilemma' by Moore to upper board, uncut, complete with original vertical cut-out suede-covered stand. Provenance: Ettore Greco Scribani (metal bookplate). EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY OF THIS RARE MOORE ILLUSTRATED SHAKESPEARE. The bas-relief bronze on the upper cover is a recasting of the 'Reclining Figure' portion of 'Relief: Three Quarters Mother and Child and Reclining Figure', 1977 (cf. A. Bowness, Henry Moore - Complete Sculpture, Volume 5 1974-1980, 1983; listed and illustrated as catalogue raisonnée no. 728). Number 520 of 1200 copies, although it is very probable that this limitation is grossly exaggerated. TWO COPIES ONLY CAN BE TRACED IN INSTITUTIONS: Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon and Stanley Wells' copy at the Henry Moore Foundation, both being examples of the 21 lettered 'ad personam' copies.
