In 1864 two other illustrations complete _The Small House at Allington_, and Millais has also two others for _Madame de Monferrat_. Sir Noel Paton appears for the only time with a fine composition, _Ulysses_ (IX. p. 66). _Margaret Denzil_ has its three illustrations signed R. B., probably the initials of Robert Barnes, who did much work in later volumes. Charles Keene, a very infrequent contributor, illustrated _Brother Jacob_, a little-known story by George Eliot. Du Maurier supplies the first four illustrations to Mrs. Gaskell's unfinished _Wives and Daughters_, and Fred Walker contributes five to the other serial, also interrupted by its author's death, the delightful _Denis Duval_. Here we see the artist employed on costume-work, and hampered somewhat by historical details, yet infusing into his designs the charm which characterises his idyllic work. G. J. Pinwell is represented by _The Lovers of Ballyvookan_. G. H. Thomas starts Wilkie Collins's _Armadale_ with two pictures that do not accord with the rest of the _Cornhill_ work, but belong to a differently considered method, popular enough elsewhere, but rarely employed in this magazine. The volume contains also a portrait of Thackeray engraved on steel, by J. C. Armytage, after Laurence. In 1865 the _Armadale_ illustrations take up twelve full pages, and Du Maurier supplies the remaining twelve stories to _Wives and Daughters_. In 1866 six _Armadale_ and one _Wives and Daughters_ are reinforced by eleven illustrations to _The Claverings_ by M. Ellen Edwards. Fred Walker is again a contributor with five drawings for Miss Thackeray's _Village on the Cliff_, and Frederick Sandys, with a fine composition illustrating Swinburne's _Cleopatra_ (xiv. p. 331), makes his last appearance in the magazine. In 1867 M. E. Edwards signs five of _The Claverings_ and seven to _The Bramleighs of Bishop's Folly_. _The Satrap_, an admirable composition, is signed F. W. B., but for whom these initials stand is not clear. Fred Walker completes his illustrations to the _Village on the Cliff_, and adds one other to _Beauty and the Beast_, and two to _A Week in a French Country House_ and one to _Red Riding Hood_. F. W. Lawson makes his _entrée_ with the four drawings to _Stone Edge_, and Du Maurier has a curiously massive _Joan of Arc_. In 1868 Walker has three illustrations to _Jack the Giant Killer_, '_I do not love you_,' and _From an Island_ respectively. M. Ellen Edwards is responsible for ten to _The Bramleighs_, one to a story, _The Stockbroker_, and the first two to _That Boy of Norcott's_. F. W. Lawson has four to _Avonhoe_, and two to _Lettice Lisle_, and Du Maurier two to _My Neighbour Nelly_, and one to _Lady Denzil_.
