The artists have illustrated the characters from Eliot’s novels in different styles. One of the most popular images is the one of Maggie Tulliver, in a boat from The Mill on the Floss. The library has two editions of this book. This is the smaller and probably cheaper edition. The other edition is more expensive with larger illustrations.
