Answer: Vernon Hill

According to the critic for the New York Times, Vernon Hill's illustrations for "The House Carpenter" were among the best of Hill's career. Hill would later go on to be primarily a sculptor. This is what the New York Times had to say:

"... the design of Satan rushing down through the waves with the boat containing the faithless wife, is tremendous. Satan himself has one of the most graceful and beautiful human bodies over drawn; the rhythm of the whole is thrilling, and the conventionalized waves are splendid. There are two pictures of the dead Christ which are solemnly and mystically impressive; "Edward, Edward" and "Hugh of Lincoln" are powerful and imaginative, and the arm and torso of "The Mermaid" are rare in their suggestion of soft and perfect beauty."

"The House Carpenter" dates back to the 1600s, and numerous artists of the folk movement had recorded the song. Bob Dylan's version came out on his "Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3" in 1991.
