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).

The the shape of the trees in Holiday's illustration and Martin's painting reminds me of the shape of a monstrance.
