Baby Toss - 1000pc Jigsaw Puzzle by Pomegranate

Baby Toss (Falling?) With Edward Gorey’s usual flair for the dramatic, this precarious scene suspends time, inviting you to unravel its peculiarities. Is the baby being tossed, or is it falling? What secrets are in the note being passed upstairs? And did the two men with carpetbags just arrive, or are they making a hasty exit? There’s plenty to ponder in this 1000-piece puzzle.

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.
