Description

This black and white illustration, appearing as the frontispiece to volume 1 of the 1853 James Nisbet and Co. "New Edition" reprint, depicts Ellen and Nancy at the brook. Ellen sits next to the water with her hands in her lap as Nancy stands behind Ellen looking down at her. A line of trees extends across the background of the illustration and several bushes surround Ellen and Nancy. The stillness of the two girls is contrasted by the movement of the water in the foreground of the illustration.
