The Discovery of Oz. The Terrible 1900

"The Discovery of Oz. The Terrible" is an illustration created by William Wallace Denslow, the illustrator of the first edition of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". Created in 1900, this illustration depicts the winged monkey, a creature native to Oz, holding a hat in its hand, an iconic image from the book. Denslow's simple yet distinct black and white line art style, set against a vibrant green background, helped to define the visual language of the original "Oz" books.
