The illustration in the heading of the page is from “The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane” by John Quidor. It is quite appropriate for the “Pumpkin Head in the New Yorker” entry. The John Quidor Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Quidor) describes the mood of the painting: “mysterious romantic setting for scenes in which he mingled macabre elements” such as the headless horseman with the pumpkin head.
