Eliza Lynn Linton · 1883 · London : Chatto and Windus, 1883. · 2 pictures

Witch Stories, collected by Eliza Lynn Linton and published in London by Chatto and Windus in 1883, is a British collection of folklore about witchcraft aimed at general readers. Its two pictures are small black-and-white decorative devices: a stylised urn-like vessel with a heart motif and fern-like fronds above, and a frieze of classical figures in a rounded panel. A designer might take from them the tradition of compact, symmetrical ornament used as tailpieces and headers in Victorian print.
