Rip Van Winkle Returns to His Village
Vintage illustration features a scene from Rip Van Winkle, a short story by the American author Washington Irving, first published in 1819. It follows a Dutch-American villager in colonial America named Rip Van Winkle who meets mysterious Dutchmen, drinks their liquor and falls asleep in the Catskill Mountains. He awakes 20 years later to a very changed world, having missed the American Revolution.
In this scene, Van Winkle returns to his village where he recognizes no one. He had left a peaceful colonial village; he returned to a bustling republican town
