The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving

Our The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Title Page art print inspired by Washington Irving captures the lingering unease of a story best read with the lights still on.

Part of our Title Page collection, this literary print pairs words and imagery to express what the story means to us. It is our interpretation of the work, rather than a reproduction of a published book cover.

The Story Behind the Design

"Daylight put an end to all these evils."

The ultimate Halloween story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow gives us the headless horseman character often portrayed with a pumpkin in place of the outstanding appendage. The story has its roots in European folklore featuring the Scandinavian Wild-Hunt and Irish Dullahan (meaning without a head). This old world merges with the new land, with the story also containing aspects of the American revolutionary war and the proto-American Gothic.

Our art print uses horror art from the original work along with a spooky Sleepy Hollow quote to capture the fear inspired by the headless horseman since his original incarnation. The tree in the centre of the image and the different coloured horses split the figures - one in unrelenting pursuit and the other in abject fear.
