W. Heath Robinson's illustration to the story of "The Woodcutter and His Three Sons" appeared in Liliane M. C. Clompet's Once Upon a Time. An airborne witch departs from the woodcutter's wife who is left standing by a well. The strong diagonal composition is defined by a sight line between the two faces which runs parallel to the line of the broomstick. The double uprights alongside the well point directly upward to the witch, while the pail directs the eye gently back toward the standing woman. This final book of Robinson's career was published in 1944, the year of his death.
