Snark
In my job since some time I use one of Henry Holiday's illustrations to The Hunting of the Snark in presentations on workload issues (as defined in ISO 10075). In December 2008 I accidentally discovered that Henry Holiday quoted from the etching The Image Breakers (or Allegory of Iconoclasm, c. 1566-1568) by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder. That is how http://holiday.snrk.de/ started.I assume, that Lewis Carroll's and Henry Holiday's The Hunting of the Snark is about belief and legitimate disputes (Snark) as well as about violent fanaticism (Boojum), especially with regard to the history of Anglicanism.
- The Hunting of the Snark
- Lewis Carroll
- Henry Holiday (Holiday's depiction of the Bonnet maker)
- Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
- The Banker's Fate
- Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder
- John Everett Millais
- Gustave Doré
- Alfred Parsons (artist): Compare Parsons' depiction of Charles Darwin's study to Henry Holiday's illustration of the Baker's visit to his uncle.
- Charles Darwin, the HMS Beagle (compared to the ship of the Snark hunting crew) and the vivisection debate (the Beaver's "wrong" lace-making perhaps refers to a memo by Charles Darwin how to use lace-needles together with a microscope for dissection)
- Thomas Cranmer (one of the Baker's personalities; the Baker's 42 boxes perhaps represent Cranmer's 42 Articles)
- Henry George Liddell (Holiday's depiction of the Billiard marker)
- Allegory: Father Time (Holiday's depiction of the Bellman on the front cover)
- Allegories: Religion and Liberty, Care and Hope
Questions:
- With regard to Image:DarwinHunting480.jpg, was it possible, that Carroll and/or Holiday had access to Darwin's famous "I think"-sketch of the evolutionary tree already before Darwin's notebook was made available to a wider public? (I got contradicting answers from Darwin specialists.)
