What more mayhem could possibly ensue in the drawing room of this mysterious manufacturing magnate? Frawgge Mfrg Co seems to have become a resounding success, if its apparent founder’s handsome top hat and plush, fur-lined overcoat are any indication. But looking stoically down from his portrait on the frog-papered wall, our beloved titan of industry must be wondering what sort of nightmare his success hath wrought. Inside, the tea party looks to have gone horribly awry, while outside we might find ourselves witness to no less than three different homicides.

Edward Gorey is beloved for the boundless imagination and sharp humor exhibited in his more than 100 published works. His profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and storytelling are on display in this puzzle, adapted from a black-and-white drop curtain designed and used for the 1992 Philadelphia and Cambridge productions of Amphigorey: The Musical, which Gorey both wrote and designed the sets for. In this illustration, lackadaisical Edwardian characters lounge across the curtain in a fantasy that could only come from the strangely-wonderful mind of Gorey himself.
