Illustration for The Treasure of Carcassonne 

This illustration by Dorothy Lathrop depicts a fantastical scene from a story, perhaps a fairy tale. The artwork features a beautiful woman with long flowing hair sitting on a pile of gold coins. Two small, grotesque creatures guard the treasure while a large, menacing dragon watches from above. This artwork, created in a bold, graphic style typical of illustrations from the early 20th century, uses vibrant color to create a sense of wonder and danger.
