This is an 1843 London edition of a medieval Irish witchcraft trial record, published by the Camden Society and edited by Thomas Wright for antiquarian readers. Both pictures are the same small engraved portrait of an older bearded man in a close cap and fur-collared gown, set inside a looped ribbon frame bearing dates of birth and death and the society name. The frame's interlaced scrollwork and lettering suggest a usable border or cartouche template for a designer's own historical portrait layout.
