This portfolio edition will be strictly limited to one hundred numbered sets and twenty-six lettered sets. Enclosed with the plates in an attractive portfolio are an additional celebratory title-card and a colophon card giving the details about this unique edition. Images are printed in their original size of 5" x 6" on 8" x 10" art paper. The Edward Gorey House museum has been honoring this publishing milestone with its 2013 annual exhibit devoted to The Vinegar Works, the set in which the Tinies made their first appearance in 1963 with companion volumes The Insect God and The West Wing.Īdding an appropriate capstone to the celebration, this October the Edward Gorey House is issuing as separate plates the twenty-six Tinies and the original cover image, each suitable for framing. Indeed, The Gashlycrumb Tinies, over its fifty-year history, has never been out of print. Its images have graced postcards and posters, magnets and mugs for Gorey lovers and for novices, affection for the Tinies endures. In 2013 we celebrate the golden anniversary of the publication of The Gashlycrumb Tinies, Edward Gorey’s most iconic alphabet book and likely his best known work. That couplet announcing the untimely demise of twenty-six very unfortunate children, has amused and horrified readers – often concurrently – for fifty years. ![]() ![]() "A is for Amy who fell down the stairs B is for Basil assaulted by bears…" ![]()
