I might give them another try this weekend.
The University of Adelaide has an ePub version of James' "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary", with illustrations that don't appear to have the cross hatching. You might query where they got them.

I get a lot of links to stuff on Hathi Trust from the University of Pennsylvania's Online Books Page. Hathi is a pain if you aren't part of an institution that has an account there, and I largely ignore them.

I don't think the cross-hatch is an artifact of Google scanning. I have other volumes that originated as Google scans that don't present the issue.
