GOREY, Edward and FIRBANK, Ronald
[Two Gathered Signatures from] Two Early Stories [The Wavering Disciple and A Study in Opal]
20 pages (five sheets from the first edition of these two early Edward Firbank stories) folded and gathered into two signatures, with sew holes. Illustrations by Edward Gorey. Fine. This set, owned since publication by a close friend of the publisher, is comprised of pp. 11-22 contiguous in the first signature, and pp. 27-30, 37-38, 43-44 in the second signature. The text of each story is incomplete, but the two Gorey illustrations are present. The original owner was a passionate Gorey collector and likely asked the publisher to retain these extra sheets rather than discarding them. Rare Gorey ephemera.
