This illustration, appearing on page 236d of Volume One of the 1888 J. B. Lippincott Company reprint, depicts Alice and Ellen walking through the snow storm. Alice is looking away and leaning over to pick up Captain Parry, and Ellen appears to be looking up at the sky with a worried expression on her face. The dark trees and strong wind create an ominous scene. Beneath the illustration, in a cursive script, is the name of the artist, Frederick Dielman, and the line "In a few minutes he came in sight," from page 237 of the text. At the very bottom of the page, in the same script, is the title of the book along with the volume and page number.

Illustration on Page 196a of the 1892 J. B. Lippincott Co. "New Edition" Reprint Depicting the Snow Storm

9CIA_Lippincott_1892_196B_ed_web.jpg

This black and white illustration, appearing on page 196a of the 1892 J. B. Lippincott Company "New Edition" reprint, depicts Ellen and Alice caught in a snow storm as they search for Captain Parry, who has been lost during the journey down the mountain as the two attempt to return home from Mrs. Vawse's. A caption below the illustration quotes a sentence from page 196 and reads, "In a few minutes he came in sight." Alice and Ellen both clutch at their dresses and shawls to keep themselves warm as the snow and wind blows around them. Ellen looks back helplessly, surrounded by snow-covered trees as Alice beckons to Captain Parry, who stands barely visible on the snowy path. The caption of the illustration provides some relief to the hopelessness of the situation as the viewer of the image realizes that Alice and Ellen have finally discovered what they were searching for and can now continue their journey down the mountain.
