Edward Gorey: The Fraught Settee Slipcase Boxed Notecards

In The Fraught Settee, Edward Gorey serves what he calls “the universal solvent” in Edwardian parlors, where fainting couches host feverish affairs and fretful discontent. Knowing that Gorey had a penchant for nonsense verse, one wonders whether Q.R.V. is a cryptic cure-all or drivel of a dubious nature. The illusive concoction’s initials appear on the cover of the book, though its title does not. Published by Gorey’s Fantod Press in 1990, this collection of verse is as enigmatic as its creator. • 16 assorted notecards (2 each of 8 designs) with envelopes • Interior message features Edward Gorey’s original Q.R.V. text • Paper-wrapped decorative slipcase, including drawer with ribbon pull tab • Printed in full color on FSC paper with soy based inks • High-quality 230 gsm uncoated card stock • Decorative envelopes • 4.5 x 6 in. card size • Pomegranate’s notecard sets feature exclusive selections of art from museums and artists around the world Box size: 6.6 x 5 x 1.6 in.
