Synopsis: Black line finished in coloured pencil,
relatively true to the text,
"It presumably depicts the moment when Roverandom and the Man-in-the-Moon, returning from their visit to the dark side, see 'the world rise, a pale green and gold moon, huge and round above the shoulders of the Lunar Mountains' (p. 46)."
