first appearance of Lucian Freud's drawings in print

The first of Lucian Freud's drawings to appear in print were published in this collection of Moore's poems. Published in the same year as Freud's first solo exhibition, the illustrations include a number of motifs that Freud would revisit; an interesting record of his early work.
