Title: Cat in Window, Observing a Night Moon - Original Signed Collograph Author: Gorey, Edward Place: [New York] Publisher: [Gotham Book Mart] Date: [1985] Description: Hand-pulled collograph, on Arches paper. 15x20 cm. (6x8"), matted and framed. No. 16/50. Signed and numbered in pencil at lower margin by Edward Gorey Although intended as an edition of 50 prints, only 40 were completed and signed by Gorey before his death.

Gorey was well known to have a special reverence for cats, this print likely inspired by one of his own cats. This collograph is sold out from the Edward Gorey House.
