Dorothy Rescuing Toto from the Tornado - Wizard of Oz Illustration #292310 (License: Personal Use)

This vintage illustration depicts Dorothy Gale, in her signature red dress and braided hair, reaching desperately from an open attic hatch to catch her loyal Yorkshire Terrier, Toto, who is suspended in the swirling winds of a tornado. The dynamic lines convey motion and urgency, while the wooden beams frame the emotional climax of the story’s opening. The artwork evokes early 20th-century children’s book illustration style, likely inspired by W.W. Denslow or John R. Neill.
