Engraving in three states (India proof, uncolored, and hand-colored)

From the first and second issues of "Twelve Sketches Illustrative of Sir Walter Scott's Demonology and Witchcraft," published for Cruikshank by J. Robins & Co. London. 1830. According to Cohn, the first issue of Cruikshank's plates was only on plain and India paper uncolorde; the colored versions here are probably from a reissue of the suite published in 1837 by Charles Tilt.
