A reproduction of Moore's sketchbook of the sheep grazing outside of his window at Much Hadham in February and March 1972. He dedicated the work to his daughter Mary. A very good copy.
This is a presentation copy boldly inscribed on the title-page "For Charles Brown with best wishes from Henry Moore, Much Hadham July 1st 1981". There is a loosely inserted typed letter on Henry Moore's personal paper, dated 26th September 1986, signed by Mary Moore Danowski thanking Charles Brown for his message of condolence on her father's death.
Charles Brown died in 2024 aged 93. Throughout his long career as an architect he served as Surveyor of the Fabric at York Minster, Coventry and Lichfield Cathedrals and St. George's Chapel, Windsor, as well as Chair of Gloucester Cathedral's Fabric Advisory Committie. He designed and built a dozen or so churches and oversaw the rebuilding of the northern transept of York Minster following the disastrous fire of 1984. He also undertook restoration work in numerous historic houses, including Goodwood House, Penshurst Place, Chillingham Castle and Madresfield Court.
