In addition to the obvious aesthetic issues, note that while the book clearly states that all the students at the school are English or Austrian, the girl depicted has the coloration of an Iroquois Indian. Also, it is less obvious in this small jpeg, but on the full cover you can't help but notice her teeth have been replaced with some kind of creepy mouth guard. Perhaps The School at the Chalet is really about an all-girls' football team - very pioneering in 1925. I haven't finished it yet, so we'll see!
