Gorey, Edward
Elefantomas
Brewster (Massachusetts): Emily Trevor, (1986). First and limited edition, deluxe-issue, #VII/X monoprint portfolios printed on Arches paper, (from a total edition of 36), signed by Gorey. Each print 11 ¾ x 9 ½ in. (298 x 241 mm). In publisher's oatmeal buckram-covered portfolio with cloth ties. Toledano p. 162

An extremely limited, deluxe-issue set of monoprints by Gorey. “Elephantomas [sic], a suite of nine moody prints, features an elephant-man posing, drifting, trapezing. Published in 26 sets of collagraphs lettered A-Z. Another ten sets of monoprints numbered I-X were announced by never completed." (Toledano p. 162)

Extremely rare. We have only been able to locate two other examples of the Elefantomas portfolio in the auction record, and they were collagraphs, not monoprints.
