Dark fantasy author Caitlín R. Kiernan named a central character if her short-story cycle, Tales of Pain and Wonder, Salmagundi Desvernine. The character is named for a painting by the Moravian artist Alphonse Maria Mucha, which was used by Whitman's in the 1920s to illustrate the lid of one of its candy sampler tins. Salmagundi Desvernine grows up on Pollepel Island in the Hudson River Valley, in the shadow of Storm King Mountain.
