"The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent" by Washington Irving and illustrated by Arthur Rackham and others, - The Knickerbocker Press, 1895 first edition (Van Tassel Edition) - 20cmx15cm - condition: very good, in original decorative bindings, illustrations present

One of Rackham's earliest works

The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., commonly referred to as The Sketch Book, is a collection of 34 essays and short stories written by the American author Washington Irving. It was published serially throughout 1819 and 1820. The collection includes two of Irving's best-known stories, attributed to the fictional Dutch historian Diedrich Knickerbocker: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle". It also marks Irving's first use of the pseudonym Geoffrey Crayon, which he would continue to employ throughout his literary career.

The Sketch Book, along with James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, was among the first widely read works of American literature in Britain and Europe. It also helped advance the reputation of American writers with an international audience.
