SHAKESPEARE, William (1564-1616) - Enry MOORE (1898-1986) - Hamlet. Rome: Delfino Edizioni d'Arte, [1985]. A fine copy of this rare Moore illustrated Shakespeare with its original stand. N. 358 of 1200, although it is very probable that this limitation is grossly exaggerated. Folio (475 x 335mm). 10 colour offset lithographs by Henry Moore, captioned tissue guards, original bookmarks (some of the bookmarks left some soilmarks). Original bordeaux morocco over thick wooden boards with bevelled edges, with rectangular bronze bas-relief 'Hamlet's Dilemna' by Moore mounted on upper cover, spine titled in gilt, uncut, with original suede-covered cut-away stand.
