This is the same image, of Ellen and the spout. There is a thin piece of paper, that covers the vignette from damage.

In the title page for T. Nelson & Sons' 1893 edition of the novel, the title is printed in the top quarter of the page without a period. The author's pseudonym Elizabeth Wetherell is printed in the page's middle. An inscription taken from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "To a Child," appears between two decorative rules. T. Nelson & Sons' address is listed as "London, Edinburgh, and New York."

This black and white title page vignette, appearing in the 1893 T. Nelson & Sons Reprint, depicts Ellen leaning over the spout, with her hands within the water. The spout is surrounded by greenery and an open field with a fence behind Ellen. Ellen's face is soft and dimpled, her curled hair is rather windblown, and she wears a simple white gown.
