black and white full page illustration of a crown and ornate robes standing in a doorway with his arm around a life-sized metal statue of a lion as he shows it to a group of twelve identical young women wearing identical dresses, some sitting, some standing. One of the standing women is stepping forward her with arms outstretched to the lion as if to accept it. One of the sitting women has a spindle in her hand and a ball of thread in her lap. The room is stone and there is a tiger-skin rug and a few balls on the ground and the door still has a large key in it’s lock. — THE KING BRINGS IN THE GOLDEN LION TO HIS DAUGHTER
