Edward Gorey Playing Cards Set are unlike any other. Gorey brought to life enigmatic, humorous tales from the laboratory of his mind, leaving his unique stamp on American art and culture. Images on the cards reflect a renaissance man of boundless imagination. Edward Gorey created more than 100 works, designed sets and costumes for theatrical productions, and had a profound affection for ballet, literature, film, and animals. 

Cards varnish and linen finish allow for a smooth shuffle. The high-quality 250-GSM cards have just the right ratio of flexibility to sturdiness. Each deck includes 52 playing cards and 2 jokers, plus two additional cards featuring art and an artist bio.

Edward Gorey Playing Cards Set measures 4" L x 3" W x 1" H

Artist and author Edward Gorey (American, 1925–2000) is beloved for the boundless imagination and sharp humor exhibited in his more than 100 published works. Gorey was also a set and costume designer for innumerable theater productions, including a staging of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, for which he won a Tony. He had a profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and animals. Cats and other odd creatures appear in many of his crosshatched illustrations. His humorously unsettling drawings of vaguely Victorian innocents facing unfortunate ends became familiar to a wide audience after appearing in the opening credits of the PBS television series Mystery! Gorey’s Cape Cod home, a veritable cabinet of curiosities, is now a museum celebrating his life and work.
