"Chapter XX" is an illustration by American artist William Wallace Denslow, best known for his work on the original *Wizard of Oz* books. Created in 1900, the illustration features a whimsical and slightly unsettling depiction of the Scarecrow from L. Frank Baum's famous children's novel. Denslow's unique style combines cartoonish elements with a touch of the grotesque, making the Scarecrow appear both comical and strangely disturbing. The simple black and white lines against a tan background emphasize the starkness and simplicity of Denslow's artistic approach.
