| Notes |
The
'bokkenrijders' (translated as 'Buckriders' or 'goatriders') are ghosts
from Belgian and Dutch folklore who would ride through the sky on
flying goats, striking fear into the hearts of locals. The myth and
name would in turn be embraced by real life gangs of thieves and
raiders of the Limburg region during the 1700s, capitalizing on the
fear of such occult images.
The design pays homage to an early 20th century poster for a production
of Frederik van Eeden's play entitled "De Bokkenrijder of het Skelet"
(The Goatrider or the Skeleton). |
