Vanishing Fore-Edge Painting – The Great Gatsby | Hand-Painted with Symbolic

✨ One-of-a-Kind Hand-Painted Vanishing Fore-Edge Edition of The Great Gatsby ✨

This unique copy of The Great Gatsby features an original, hand-painted vanishing fore-edge painting — invisible when closed, and revealed only when the pages are fanned.

The artwork reflects crucial themes and imagery from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary classic:

The green light across the bay, a symbol of unreachable dreams.

Gatsby’s iconic yellow car, transposed onto a negative silhouette of a tuxedo — complete with bow tie and shirt collar — representing Gatsby’s constructed identity and tragic illusion.

Gold foil gilded edges, applied by hand, catch the light just like Gatsby’s hope.

📖 Book Edition: The Great Gatsby (Deluxe Hardbound Edition), 184 pages
🎨 Mediums Used: Derwent pastel paints, Camel watercolors, gold gilding
🖐️ Painted freehand using a fore-edge press — no prints or replicas

This is a one-of-a-kind collector’s item, perfect for fans of the Jazz Age, book art, and literary symbolism.
