This black and white illustration, appearing on page 400a of the 1892 J. B. Lippincott Company "New Edition" reprint, depicts the horse whipping. Below the illustration a caption quotes a sentence from page 401 of the text and reads, "Ellen hardly saw how, it was so quick." In the illustration, Mr. Saunders lays in the grass next to the road after having been thrown by John, who stands tall, holding the reigns of his horse on the path. Ellen sits on her horse near John, looking back at the scene with uncertainty. Behind Ellen, an open field extends into the distance, framed by trees that stand near the path. Mountains can be seen in the background of the illustration.

This black and white illustration, appearing on page 149 of the 1903 J. B. Lippincott Company "New Edition" reprint, depicts Alice finding Ellen on the Cat's Back.

This black and white illustration, appearing on page 337 of the 1903 J. B. Lippincott Company "New Edition" reprint, depicts Ellen and Mr. Van Brunt in the woods. Ellen stands holding a basket among the trees and grass of the woods as Mr. Van Brunt leans against his ax in the background with several chopped pieces of wood sitting near his feet. His two oxen stand near him as he gazes at Ellen, who looks around her, seemingly in awe of the natural beauty of the woods as she rests her hand on her chest.

This black and white illustration, appearing on page 375 of the 1903 J. B. Lippincott "New Edition" reprint, depicts Ellen meeting The Brownie. Ellen stands next to Ellen Chauncey as Sophia Marshman watches Ellen from a distance. Thomas leads The Brownie to the front of the porch where Ellen can see him. Captain Parry, Alice's cat, stands near Ellen's feet. Several trees and bushes stand behind The Brownie, and an open field extends into the distance. The busyness in the foreground of the illustration, accentuated by the multiple characters appearing in the scene, is relieved by the landscape in the background as the scene opens up into nature.

This black and white illustration, appearing on page 422 of the 1903 J. B. Lippincott Company "New Edition" reprint, depicts Mr. Van Brunt tending his flock.

The sheep stand in an open field that extends toward a forest in the background of the illustration.

This black and white illustration, appearing on page 124a of the 1896 Hodder and Stoughton reprint, depicts Ellen crossing the brook as Nancy waits for her on the other side. A caption below the illustration quotes a sentence from page 125 and reads, "Ellen set out upon her perilous journey." This quote heightens the sense of anticipation already present in the illustration as Ellen holds her arms out to steady herself as she steps onto a log to cross the narrow brook. 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.

This black and white illustration, appearing on page 196a of the 1896 Hodder and Stoughton 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.
