The Unstrung Harp
Gorey’s first book gets an unexpected treatment, with vintage gold brocade bookcloth covers topped with an overlay of burgundy goat, hand cut to resemble the concert hall drapery of the original cover image. With matching burgundy leather hinges, the interior features endsheets of charcoal grey rag paper printed with gold, silver and burgundy geometric shapes – a very 50s look to salute the 1953 publication of the original.
