Trying to find a fairy tale illustration...

I am working on an illustrated 'fairy tale' book for a school class, and I'm trying to find a particular illustration for inspiration. I know I've seen it before, but can't find it in a google search.
I'm looking for a woodcut illustration, sort of high contrast b&w, from a fairy tale like Snow White, or a Brothers Grimm book.
If anyone can remember some illustrations like that, and the book they are from, please let me know!

Don't know exactly what you're after, but perhaps these sites might be of some help:

It might be easier to find, searching by artist, if you know who some of the artists are.

Some famous fairy tale artists have included:
Arthur Rackham
Gustave Dore
William Morris
Aubrey Beardsley
Edmund Dulac
Kay Nielsen
Adrienne Segur
Sulamith Wulfing
Warwick Goble

I know Gustave Dore did some woodcuts.

You might find this link (http://www.artpassions.net/) helpful as well.
