Lonesome Road
1938

A black and white illustration depicting a man in a cap and white shirt riding a small cart pulled by a donkey along a winding rural path. There are cypress trees and a wooden shack to the left, with a cross nearby, and rolling hills in the background. The scene conveys a serene, pastoral atmosphere.
