E.D. Ward: A Mercurial Bear

New York: Gotham Book Mart, 1983. First Edition. Fine. First edition. Signed by Edward Gorey as his anagram Dogear Wryde on the rear cover. Bound in publisher's stapled wraps with 16 pages of illustrations. Fine. A charming, yet typically disquieting Gorey production containing uncut illustrations of ambiguously-gendered paper doll outfits for the bear on the front cover. Gorey himself was an avid collector of paper doll ephemera and frequently used the Victorian pastime as a theme in his works. Toledano A87.
