This black and white illustration, appearing as the frontispiece to the [1890] Frederick Warne and Co. reprint, depicts Mr. Van Brunt tending his flock of sheep. A caption below the illustration quotes a sentence from page 435 and reads, "She went eagerly out of the door with Mr. Van Brunt to a new pleasure," and describes Ellen's excitement as she looks down at the sheep around her. Mr. Van Brunt stands near her, throwing feed to the sheep from a bowl tucked under his arm. A fence extends down the left side of the illustration toward a large mountain in the background, over which looms a billowy cloud. The field where Mr. Van Brunt and Ellen stand is mostly bare except for several trees that stand near the mountain.

This black and white illustration, appearing on page 516a of the [1890] Frederick Warne and Co. reprint, depicts a ship on a rough sea.

The ship is heading towards the horizon as the sun rises. A caption below the illustration quotes a sentence from page 516 and reads, "The voyage was peaceful and prosperous," contrasting the roughness of the sea.
