Edition limited to 164 copies, this one of 130 of the regular edition (there were 26 lettered copies in quarter leather, and 8 copies in full leather); signed and numbered (this, no. 54) by Hilary Paynter; folio (approx. 14" x 11¼"), pp. [6], ix-xiv, [74]; wood-engraved title page, 34 full-page wood engravings, plus a wood-engraved initial and 3 vignette wood engravings on the colophon, all printed in blue; fine copy in original blue cloth-backed white paper-covered boards printed with a small wood-engraving by Paynter, printed paper label on spine, publisher's slipcase. Fine throughout. All wood engravings are printed from the original blocks. "Moving is arranged around five themes that are central to Hilary's work; from sweeping dramatic landscapes to social injustice and the abuse of power, there is a constant creative tension in her engraving, often offset by humour and humanity. Hilary's confident mark-making and draftsmanship skills can be seen too have developed from her early blocks to the present day, but the interplay of tone and light on the page are always central, alongside and uncompromising response the natural world an out often brutal mistreatment of it, as well as of each other. "Each engraving, selected and introduced by Hilary, is accompanied by a text that explains the thought process behind how each image, from drawing to engraving, was developed. The blocks have been printed by Helen Hillman and Pat Randle and the book provides a lasting tribute to five decades of wood engravings by one of the masters of this craft" (publisher's blurb).
