  Electrons in the mono-layer atomic sheet of graphene have a long coherence
length of the order of micrometers. We will show that this coherence is
transmitted into the vacuum via electric field assisted electron emission from
the graphene edge. The emission current density is given analytically. The
parity of the carbon pi-electrons leads to an image whose center is dark as a
result of interference. A dragonfly pattern with a dark body perpendicular to
the edge is predicted for the armchair edge whose emission current density is
vanishing with the mixing angle of the pseudo-spin. The interference pattern
may be observed up to temperatures of thousand Kelvin as evidence of coherent
field emission. Moreover, this phenomenon leads to a novel coherent electron
line source that can produce interference patterns of extended objects with
linear sizes comparable to the length of the graphene edge.
