The Treasure of Carcassonne 1928

"The Treasure of Carcassonne" is a black and white illustration by Dorothy Lathrop from 1928. The illustration depicts a scene of two children and a goose by a well in a cobblestone courtyard. The well itself is obscured by foliage and a person hanging down inside. The children are likely waiting for someone to draw water from the well. The image is a simple yet evocative illustration of childhood innocence and the quiet beauty of a rural setting.
