2011 Edward Gorey House Prints

Each year, the Edward Gorey House produces several limited edition prints. The selection for 2011 includes a favorite Gorey image, and entire book, and a never before seen color image from the archives.

As I have stated in previous postings, I believe these prints represent one of the best buys in Gorey collecting ~ each print is wonderfully executed with attention to detail and superb color representation. The prints are available unsigned and in a signed/numbered limited edition. Each limited edition print is "signed" with an embossed facsimile of Edward Gorey's signature. To purchase prints, go the the Edward Gorey House website.

This year's selection includes:

Les Insectes Cyclistes - image: 6 5/8" x 8 7/8", paper 9 1/2" x 11 1/2" - Unsigned $25.00. Limited edition of 200 numbered ($50.00) and 26 lettered ($85.00) impressions - This iconic image was created for The Broken Spoke and the privately owned original art has been included in the Elegant Enigmas exhibition.



The Eclectic Abecedarium - image: approximately 9" x 15", paper 11" x 17" - Unsigned $35.00. Limited edition of 200 numbered ($75.00) and 26 lettered ($100.00) impressions - This print includes all the art and text from Mr. Gorey's first of two miniature books published by Bromer Booksellers. The colors on the print match the current reprint of this book title available from Pomegranate Books.



Le Higlif - image: 6 1/4 x 9.0 poster 9 1/2 x 11 1/2 - Unsigned $25.00. Limited edition of 200 numbered ($50.00) and 26 lettered ($85.00) impressions. This fantastic piece of original art from the Gorey Archives is previously unpublished, and is currently on display at the Edward Gorey House.
