At the Witch’s Door
A visitor approaches an ornate portal while another man bows at its entrance. Sculpted supporting figures, carved faces and dense architectural ornament surround the comparatively small human encounter. Captioned At the Witch’s Door, Hennessy’s illustration establishes the extravagant threshold of Crawford’s Gothic tale.
