EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene and haunting beauty of The grave of Washington Irving in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Tarrytown, N. Y. Taken on July 8,1914, by William Davis Hassler, this image showcases the final resting place of one of America's most beloved authors. Washington Irving, born on April 3,1783, was not only a renowned writer but also a diplomat. He is best known for his iconic short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" which continues to captivate readers with its eerie tale set in this very location. The tombstone stands tall amidst other gravestones and signs within the cemetery. Its weathered appearance tells a story of time passing by since Irving's death on November 28,1859. A sign that reads "keep out" adds an air of mystery to the scene as if guarding the secrets buried beneath. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of Irving's significant contributions to American literature and his lasting impact on our cultural heritage. His words continue to resonate through generations as he remains an influential figure in both American history and literary tradition. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even in death, great writers like Washington Irving live on through their works and leave an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
