About this work

First of Henry Holiday's original ilustrations to "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll.

This illustrates the opening of Fit the First: The Landing.

"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried, As he landed his crew with care; Supporting each man on the top of the tide By a finger entwined in his hair.
