The witch no. 1" is a numbered entry in what appears to be a series, a detail that suggests it was one of several pictures issued together rather than a stand-alone work. The sheet is credited to J.E. Baker and carries a Boston place line alongside the New York publisher Geo. H. Walker & Co., with a date of February 29, 1892. Joint Boston and New York imprints were common in the late nineteenth century, when American publishers and illustrators sold pictorial prints and sheets to a broad popular audience. Its witch subject also reflects the long American fascination with the figure of the witch, which was revived in popular illustration during this period.
