The black-and-white line drawing shows a kneeling figure on a ledge outside a window in a castle's turret, appearing to embrace an invisible figure.

In December 1896, Henry & Co. published volume 2 of The Pageant (forward dated 1897), which included Laurence Housman's self-illustrated fairy tale, "Blind Love." His black-and-white line drawing appeared under the title "The Invisible Princess" in the list of art contents. However, because the illustration is not interleaved with, or adjacent to, the story, the relation between image and text is not immediately evident.
