Illustration on Page 378a of the [1896] James Nisbet & Co. Reprint Depicting Thomas Delivering The Pilgrim's Progress

7UVA_Nisbet_[1896]_378_web.jpg

This black and white illustration is from the 1896 James Nisbet & Co. Reprint Depicting Thomas delivering The Pilgrim's Progess to Ellen, while Nancy looks on. The image is sharper and much clearer in print, with darker lines. This may be because it is a newer and better cared for edition.

Subjects: Thomas Delivering The Pilgrim’s Progress, Ellen, Thomas, Nancy
