EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Hunting of the Snark" takes us on a whimsical journey into Lewis Carroll's imaginative world. Created by Henry Holiday, this print captures a pivotal moment in Fit the Sixth: The Barristers Dream, one of eight fits in Carroll's famous poem. In this scene, we see a group of men gathered around a judge who seems to be sharing an important revelation. The snark, however, appears unimpressed as it exclaims "fudge!" - perhaps dismissing the judge's words as nonsense. This humorous caricature perfectly encapsulates Carroll's unique blend of wit and absurdity. Holiday's attention to detail is evident in every line and stroke of his engraving. The characters' exaggerated features add to the overall charm and playfulness of the artwork. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported back to 19th-century England where legal proceedings intertwine with hunting adventures for mythical creatures. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate Holiday's mastery even more clearly. It invites us to explore each intricate element while immersing ourselves in Carroll's nonsensical yet enchanting narrative. "The Hunting of the Snark (engraving)" is not just a mere illustration; it is an invitation to embrace imagination and revel in the delightful world crafted by Lewis Carroll and brought to life by Henry Holiday.
