Edward Gorey's 1974 Show at Graham Gallery

As frequent readers of my blog have no doubt realized, I am slightly obsessed with Edward Gorey's two Graham Gallery shows from 1974 & 1975. There is a printed checklist for the '74 show, but nothing seems to exist for the '75 show, so the later exhibition remains more enigmatic than the earlier outing.

Since I have been locating and posting images from the '74 show somewhat piecemeal over the past several years, I thought it might be nice to see as much of the show as possible in one post. I have identified 21 of the 46 images created for the show. If anyone has images for any of the still elusive pieces and would care to forward them, I would love to be able to add them to the posting.
