Washington Irving Poster

Washington Irving Poster

Washington Irving, born on April 3, 1783, in New York City, was an American author, essayist, and diplomat who became one of the first internationally acclaimed literary figures from the United States. Irving began his career as a law student but soon found his true passion lay in writing and storytelling. His first significant success came with the publication of "A History of New York" under the pseudonym Dietrich Knickerbocker in 1809. This satirical work, imbued with humor and a love for Dutch American culture, established Irving as a distinctive literary voice. In 1815, Irving traveled to England, where he continued to build his literary reputation. His most enduring work, "The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.," was published in installments between 1819 and 1820. This collection included the iconic short stories "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," both of which contributed significantly to American folklore. The character of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman became cultural touchstones, solidifying Irving's status as a master storyteller. Washington Irving's literary success extended to his diplomatic career when he served as the U.S. Minister to Spain from 1842 to 1846. His time in Spain inspired works like "The Alhambra," a collection of essays and stories. Upon returning to the United States, Irving continued to write and remained an influential figure in American literature. He passed away on November 28, 1859, leaving a lasting legacy as one of the first American authors to gain international acclaim and contributing to the development of a distinct American literary identity.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it. I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
