The set of eighty facsimile collotypes and one lithograph in colors on chine, 1967, signed in ink and numbered 158 of 180 on the justification, the lithograph signed in pencil and numbered 158/180, in original linen-covered portfolio box, together with a hand-written document by the artist.

All 14 1/2 x 12 in. (sheet), unframed.

Note: Included with this portfolio is an account written by Moore describing when he first saw Londoners taking shelter in the tube stations during air raids in 1940 and 1941. Moore writes that "It seemed to me something absolutely unique in history--I was deeply moved, but also fascinated." Moore made sketches of what he saw, turning them eventually into drawings and prints, and then into this collection of collotypes.
