Roffe's engraving, which derives from Raeburn's
1808 portrait of Scott, was first published in The Mirror
of Literature, 1826. A head-size reduction, it is based
on an 1810 mezzotint by Charles Turner and an 1821 engraving
by J.R. West (itself derived from Henry Meyer's 1818
engraving). The above print was published in J. Tillotson's Lives
of Eminent Men, or Biographical Treasury (London: Thomas
Holmes, 1854) (facing p.173).
