Washington Irving's Study. A large desk dominates author Washigton Irving's study at Sunnyside, his home on the east bank of the Hudson River inTarrytown, N.Y. Irving's publisher, G.P. Putnam of New York City, gave Irving the pedestal desk in 1856 while he was writing a five-volume biography of George Washington entitled "The Life of George Washington." On the desk are a mechanical Carcel oil lamp and Irving's ink stand, center. The study contains much of Irving's library and a sofa in the rear. At one time Irving used the study for his sleeping quarters and slept on the sofa.
