The King of the Mountains of the Moon
A dark-bearded ruler in pale robes sits on a broad circular seat before a small group of attendants. A child kneels at the foot of the dais beside a round luminous object. The frontispiece gives form to a marvel described within the Swallow’s far-ranging accounts in The Happy Prince.
