snrk.de/snarkhunt/#q...
https://snrk.de/snarkhunt/#quotes SNARK FOOD "‘What is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘without pictures or conversations?’" ~ Lewis Carroll, 1865, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland "All art is infested by other art." ~ Leo Steinberg in 'Art about Art', 1979 "We have neglected the gift of comprehending things through our senses. Concept is divorced from percept, and thought moves among abstractions. Our eyes have been reduced to instruments with which to identify and to measure; hence we suffer a paucity of ideas that can be expressed in images and in an incapacity to discover meaning in what we see. Naturally we feel lost in the presence of objects that make sense only to undiluted vision, and we seek refuge in the more familiar medium of words. ... The inborn capacity to understand through the eyes has been put to sleep and must be reawakened." ~ Rudolf Arnheim: 'Art and Visual Perception', 1974, p. 1 "Only those questions that are in principle undecidable, we can decide." ~ Heinz von Foerster: 'Ethics and Second-Order Cybernetics', Système et thérapie familiale, Paris, 1990-10-04 "It is possible that the author was half-consciously laying a trap, so readily did he take to the inventing of puzzles and things enigmatic; but to those who knew the man, or who have divined him correctly through his writings, the explanation is fairly simple." ~ Henry Holiday, 1898-01-29, on Lewis Carroll's 'The Hunting of the Snark' "To the best of my recollection, I had no other meaning in my mind, when I wrote ['The Hunting of the Snark']: but people have since tried to find the meanings in it. The one I like best (which I think is partly my own) is that it may be taken as an Allegory for the Pursuit of Happiness." ~ Lewis Carroll (letter to Mary Barber), 1897-12-01 "L.C. has forgotten that 'the Snark' is a tragedy" ~ Henry Holiday (remark written on a letter received from L. Carroll), 1876-01-04

Dear Bard, "The Hunting of the Snark" (1876) is one of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's books which has been written to be re-read and re-looked at many times.

You might like Henry Holiday's pictorial allusions (engraved by Joseph Swain) to John Martin's painting "The Bard" (c. 1871).

Immediately to the right side of the fire, Thomas Cranmer is depicted burning his hand. Depicted martyrs: (A) Thomas Cranmer holding his hand into the flames, (B) Hugh Latimer, (C) Nicholas Ridley, (D) John Hooper, (E) John Philpot, (F) John Bradford, (G) John Rogers, (H) Laurence Saunders; (I) Rowland Taylor, (K) Thomas Bilney, (L) Robert Ferrar, (M) Robert Glover.

The actual date was discovered by Malcolm Jones in the Stationers Register, where it was entered on 6 March 1630 (see Arber IV p.196). The name Ghest is included among the martyred, but he has not been identified.

In Holiday's illustration you can see something which looks like a "beak" which had snatched the Baker's hand. After rotating the "beak" by 120° counterclockwise, you can see a fire whith a hand reaching out from the flames.

A detail from Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting "The Wine of St. Martin’s Day" (dated to the 1560s, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Win...) reminded me of a figure in one of Henry Holiday's Snark illustrations.
Figures in Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting "The Wine of St. Martin’s Day" (dated to the 1560s, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wine_of_Saint_Martin%27s_Day) reminded me of a figure in Henry Holiday's illustration to the 6th fit in Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark". The similarity probably is incidental. The figure drawn Holiday's also could have been inspired by the looks of an acquaintance of Lewis Carroll in Oxford (https://snrk.de/face-change/). Initially, Holiday intended to depict this figure in an illustration to the 1st fit. #TheHuntingOfTheSnark #HenryHoliday #LewisCarroll #PieterBruegelTheElder

On this day, 193 years ago, Lewis Carroll was born in Daresbury, Cheshire, England.

His masterpiece is a long tragicomical poem. On 25 October 1875, almost 150 years ago, Carroll gave it the title "The Hunting of the Snark" (snrk.de/snarkhunt).
