Anything pre 1955 is out of copyright here in Aus

Illustration copyright is independent of text copyright, I used the word image because you did. If you are going to split hairs over image versus drawing, then you sort out which it is.

What matters is that the illustrator holds the illustration copyright.

For better or worse, copyright most of the time depends on date of death, not date of publication. Theodor Seuss Geisel died 1991. He was also an illustrator. If he made this illustration, then the distinction in copyright is moot.
