Edward Gorey: Drop Curtain 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
Edward Gorey is beloved for the boundless imagination and sharp humor exhibited in his more than 100 published works. His profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and storytelling are on display in this puzzle, adapted from a black-and-white drop curtain designed and used for the 1992 Philadelphia and Cambridge productions of Amphigorey: The Musical, which Gorey both wrote and designed the sets for. In this illustration, lackadaisical Edwardian characters lounge across the curtain in a fantasy that could only come from the strangely-wonderful mind of Gorey himself.

Artist and author Edward Gorey (American, 1925–2000) is beloved for the boundless imagination and sharp humor exhibited in his more than 100 published works. Gorey was also a set and costume designer for innumerable theater productions, including a staging of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, for which he won a Tony. He had a profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and animals. Cats and other odd creatures appear in many of his crosshatched illustrations. His humorously unsettling drawings of vaguely Victorian innocents facing unfortunate ends became familiar to a wide audience after appearing in the opening credits of the PBS television series Mystery! Gorey’s Cape Cod home, a veritable cabinet of curiosities, is now a museum celebrating his life and work.
