Illustration on Page 118a of the 1886 James Nisbet & Co. "New Edition, Golden Ladder Series" Reprint Depicting Ellen and Nancy at the Brook

8UVA_Nisbet_1886_118_web.jpg

This 4-color wood engraving, appearing on page 118a of the 1886 James Nisbet & Co. Golden Ladder Series reprint, depicts Ellen and Nancy at the brook. The illustration first appeared without color in James Nisbet's 1853 Author's Edition (see 3WIS). The caption to the image reads "The Charmed Spot" with a reference to page 118. The image depicts Ellen sitting thoughtfully beside a brook, while Nancy stands behind her, wearing a sullen expression. Ellen is dressed in a clean apron and wrapped in a red shawl, whereas Nancy stands in a rather dingy and wrinkled dress. This further illustrates the fundamental difference between Ellen's purity and gentleness, and Nancy's rough-and-tumble ways.

Illustration on Page 152a of Volume 1 of the 1888 J.B. Lippincott Co. Reprint Depicting Ellen and Nancy at the Brook

6CIA_Lippincott_1888_152D_ed_web.jpg

This illustration, appearing on page 152d of Volume One of the 1888 J.B. Lippincott Co. reprint, depicts Ellen balancing carefully on a log that straddles the brook, while Nancy watches her from the other side. Ellen has her arms stretched out for balance, and a look of concentration on her face. Nancy is facing away from us, and is standing on one foot, as she has just finished putting her shoes back on after crossing the brook herself. Beneath the illustration, in a cursive script, is the name of the artist, Frederick Dielman, and the line "Ellen set out upon her perilous journey," from page 152 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.

Nancy stands on the other side of the brook, holding onto a tree as she clutches at her sock, leaning forward to either mock or encourage Ellen. Foliage surrounds the two girls and a short fence can be seen in the background.
