Hi Dennis. Sorry, I had a brief softening of the brain when I typed that, it should have referred to "Lost Hearts", and those particular illustrations never appeared in any book, only the magazine.
I see the cross-hatching
almost always when the images are "photogravure" (see attached pic), but not on line-art. Of course, Google scans have other issues as well --- they seem to LOVE to frequently use some sort of softening-blur on illustrations that often makes them look smeared. Those will look ok on a small reader display, but are awful to work with for clean-up and enhancement.
I agree about hathitrust and their odd restrictions, but I do confess to downloading from them ---- one page at a time, and cursing every minute -- when I can't find the desired material anywhere else. I've only done it once for an entire (short) book, though --- otherwise, just illustrations or missing pages of text.
