Peterson reports that "Morris had abandoned his plan to produce an ornamented and illustrated edition, though an illustration by Burne-Jones, slightly altered and redrawn by Robert Catterson-Smith (Cockerell diary, 6 October 1897), was later adapted for us in the KP edition."

The frame includes details in the hand of Catterson-Smith and it appears that the drawing, described as "Original drawing for the Kelmscott Edition of Love is Enough. Designed by the later Sir E. Burne-Jones bart. Drawn by R. Catterson-Smith", was exhibited in 1901. Catterson-Smith adds a note that "this drawing was subject to considerable alteration as it was being drawn - so it is the original drawing".
