The Object-Lesson by Edward Gorey5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() 15 1/2 x 11" - with the image this large you can really see the intricate line work that Edward Gorey was famous for. The print was part of a folio of work published in 1979 - the back bears the number 14 and a smaller illustration from a Broadway production of "Dracula." ![]() The text reads: "On the shore, a bat, or possibly an umbrella, disengaged itself from the shrubbery, causing those nearby to recollect the miseries of childhood." The three-paneled page shows a bleak landscape, bare trees, a BAT (or umbrella) and three people clad in the Victorian attire for which Gorey was fond of depicting, complete with tweed overcoats, top hats, and moustachioed men. The print features a scene from his fourth book "THE OBJECT-LESSON," originally published in 1958. This is a wonderful large-scale print that features the artwork of EDWARD GOREY. ![]()
