Description

Edward Gorey ‘The Tunnel Calamity’ (Magic Windows: A Series of Extraordinary Scenes in Three Dimensions)

A Peepshow made in pictorial card boards and paper.. The front and rear boards are separated by a series of 8 images attached in an accordion style so they can be stretched apart to form a three-dimensional tunnel of illustrations . Illustrated by Edward. There is a small circular window with a mylar ‘pane’ so the reader can feel as if they are looking out at passersby in an alley or street. Part of the Magic Window series. Printed on the the back cover: ‘Unexpected appearance of the ULUUS (thought to have been extinct for over a century) in the tunnel connecting East Shoetree and West Radish, St Frumble’s Day, 1892.’ The edges are slightly rubbed and the back board is slightly dusty with a few marks, else very good.
