EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the picturesque beauty of Washington Irving's home, Sunnyside, nestled in the heart of Tarrytown, New York. Irving, an American literary legend, lived at Sunnyside from 1846 until his passing in 1859. The historic estate, built in 1783, is a testament to the rich history of American literature and the enduring charm of the Hudson River Valley. Washington Irving, best known for his works "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," found inspiration in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Sunnyside, with its serene views of the Hudson River and the rolling hills of Westchester County, provided the perfect setting for Irving's creative spirit. The home itself is a charming blend of Federal and Gothic architectural styles, reflecting the unique character of its famous resident. Irving's love for the land is evident in the meticulously designed gardens and landscaping that surround the property. Today, Sunnyside is a National Historic Site, preserving the legacy of one of America's most beloved authors. Visitors can tour the home and gardens, explore the exhibits, and learn about Irving's life and contributions to American literature. This photograph, captured by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Hudson River Valley was a source of inspiration for some of America's greatest writers and artists. Sunnyside, with its timeless beauty and storied history, continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
