Skating Cat Pin

SKU EG016P

This animated cat animal pin has been adapted from Edward Gorey's back cover illustrations for AMPHIGOREY - Fifteen Books by Edward Gorey: a compilation of books published between 1953 and 1965. The drawing showed the cat skating with the letter P in the word Gryphoemia, a Goreyism meaning either the heroine of a forgotten 19th century novel or a morbid affliction of the toes. Gorey loved absurdities. Laurel Elliott's whimsical jewelry of the cats are fun gifts for her.
