‘This is the great comfort,’ said the Tin Woodman 1900

This illustration, created by William Wallace Denslow in 1900, depicts a scene from the classic children’s novel *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz*. The image shows Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman in a forest setting. Denslow’s distinctive style, featuring bold lines and bright colors, is characteristic of the early 20th century. His detailed depiction of the characters and their surroundings captures the whimsical nature of L. Frank Baum’s beloved story. This illustration is a prime example of early American children’s book illustration and is widely recognized as a beloved part of Oz lore.
