This is the frontispiece from witch hunter Matthew Hopkins’ The Discovery of Witches (1647), showing witches identifying their familiar spirits.

J. W. Geerinck believes that it is this plate that gave Ronald Bassett’s novel Witchfinder General (1966) and the subsequent film by Reeves, Witchfinder General (1968) its title.
