In this print titled ""Reciting for their amusement all the Epitaphs on the Tombstones" we are transported to the enchanting world of Sleepy Hollow, as depicted by renowned artist Arthur Rackham. Inspired by Washington Irving's timeless tale, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rackham brings to life a scene that is both eerie and whimsical. Set in a rural churchyard, we find Ichabod Crane, the lanky schoolmaster of Tarry Town, regaling a group of damsels with his storytelling prowess. Surrounded by ancient gravestones adorned with epitaphs from generations past, Crane captivates his audience with tales that send shivers down their spines. The girls listen intently as they lean against weathered tombstones, their expressions filled with curiosity and delight.

This mesmerizing print captures not only the essence of Sleepy Hollow but also showcases Rackham's artistic brilliance in bringing literature to life visually. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, stories continue to
