Prince Gnome at the Golden Fountain
Original caption: Prince Gnome Learns the Name of His Rival at the Golden Fountain
A richly dressed figure recoils beside a fountain while a great face seems to emerge above the water. Branches and falling streams fill the fantastic setting. The printed caption identifies Prince Gnome learning his rival’s name at the Golden Fountain in The Invisible Prince.
