Just for comparison with the picture below, here's a detail from the cover of Chefs D'oeuvre Tome 4 by one of the greatest illustrators of children's books: Pierre Joubert (1910-2002). Look at the girl nervously taking the lead. Miss Indiana Jones? Like Norman Rockwell, Joubert also illustrated Scouts manuals.
