EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported to the courtroom of Lewis Carroll's whimsical world. The illustration captures a pivotal moment from "The Hunting of the Snark" an Agony in Eight Fits, where tension fills the air. A stern-looking Judge stands at his elevated bench, addressing someone off-camera. His words carry weight as he imparts knowledge and wisdom upon those present. However, what truly steals the scene is the mischievous Snark who exclaims "Fudge!" with a defiant expression on its face. This historic image showcases Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's (Lewis Carroll) incredible talent for blending fantasy with reality. Through his pen name, Dodgson invites us into a nonsensical poem that challenges our perception of logic and reason. Henry Holiday's intricate engraving brings life to these characters, highlighting their distinct personalities. The barristers and lawyers attentively listen while clutching legal documents in their hands. The atmosphere within the courtroom is palpable; every detail meticulously captured by Holiday's skilled hand. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from 1876, we are reminded of Carroll's enduring legacy as both an author and mathematician who dared to venture beyond conventional boundaries. This piece serves as a visual testament to his ability to transport readers into extraordinary worlds filled with imagination and wonderment.
