The biologist Sir Julian Huxley gave an elephant skull to Moore in the late 1960s after a visit to Africa.

Moore was fascinated by the complex form and it became his favourite natural object. The images Moore produces are vibrant, sensitive and strong and echo the work he was producing based on the human figure and landscape. The album contains 28 etchings.
