Legend of Sleepy Hollow illustration

A pale ink line drawing on a printed plate shows a wild chase: a rider in a flowing cloak leans over a galloping horse, while another horse and figures crowd the foreground and a twisted tree rises at right. Loose, sketchy hatching gives the scene motion against a bare, lightly shaded landscape.
