An caption to an image of this cover in "The American Monthly Review of Reviews" states: "Cover design by Berkley Smith, the figures taken from one of Peter Newell's illustrations to the story..."
The author also states: "Sometimes an illustration from the: book is utilized and translated into simple masses capable of being printed on the cloth of the cover. Mr. Berkley Smith, in his cover for Stockton’s Afield and Afloat, has redrawn one of Peter Newell’s inimitable illustrations to the story—two men and a horse crossing a ford, seen from above as though from a balloon. Such a device serves as a poster for a book, so that when it is seen on the bookseller’s counter the cover reveals the comic character of the contents." - Knaufft, Ernest. "Art in the Holiday Books". In "The American Monthly Review of Reviews", 1900 December issue.
