These are Edward Gorey's illustrations for "The Visiting Star" from Hauntings: Tales of the Supernatural, published by Doubleday. About this book, Aickman wrote the following to Kirby McCauley, his agent:

"I have never ceased to be impressed by Edward Gorey's illustrations to Hauntings, published, as you may remember, by Doubleday in 1968 and containing my story, "The Visiting Star". I frequently take the book down and look at the illustrations, and have submitted them to the admiration of all my friends. I had never before heard of Gorey, but Ted Klein told me that he was very well known. I was delighted to hear this, because he should be." (p. 194 in "Robert Aickman Selected Letters to Kirby McCauley").
