Before Judy Garland, the image people had of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz was created by Roycroft institution artist William W. Denslow, who partnered with author L. Frank Baum on the initial volume of the blockbuster series of children’s books of a century ago. Further volumes in the series—there were 14 in all by Baum—were illustrated in imitation of Denslow’s illustrations by the comparably capable John R. Neill.
