Headless Fellow-Traveller

I love this passage from Washington Irving's Legend of Sleepy Hollow: "On mounting a rising ground, which brought the figure of his fellow-traveller in relief against the sky, gigantic in height, and muffled in a cloak, Ichabod was horror-struck on perceiving that he was headless!—but his horror was still more increased on observing that the head, which should have rested on his shoulders, was carried before him on the pommel of his saddle!"

I think I'd like to do some more illustrations in this style for the short story to go with this one.
