EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured between 1910 and 1920, depicts the grave of the renowned American author Washington Irving, located in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Tarrytown, New York. Irving, who is best known for his short stories "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," is buried in a mausoleum designed by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White. The commemorative monument, which resembles a Gothic-style castle, stands tall against the backdrop of the lush, green cemetery grounds. Irving's grave is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world who come to pay their respects to the legendary writer. During this period, photography was still an emerging art form, and this image was likely captured using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century. The sepulchral atmosphere of the cemetery, with its towering tombstones and sculptures, adds to the sense of history and heritage. Irving's grave, with its ornate mausoleum and intricately carved tombstone, is a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated his life to the written word. As a diplomat, historian, and writer, Irving left an indelible mark on American literature. His works continue to be celebrated and studied, and his grave in Sleepy Hollow remains a testament to his enduring legacy. This photograph, with its haunting beauty and historical significance, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that lies within the United States, particularly in the picturesque town of Tarrytown, Westchester County, New York.
