Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark was illustrated by Henry Holiday. 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. A very unique pattern in the "mouth" of both "heads" convinced me, that Holiday took reference to Gheeraert's etching. That is how http://holiday.snrk.de/ started.
 
Holiday was not a plagiarist. He just masterfully quoted graphical shapes from works of other artists like, as an example, Tom Stoppard quotes from other writers. Thus, Holiday's puzzles parallel Carroll's cunundrums. As for Lewis Carroll, I assume, that 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.

Left: Henry Holiday's depiction of the Baker's uncle (in Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark, 1876) with some of the Baker's 42 boxes outside of the window. Right top: John Everett Milais: Christ in the House of his Parents (aka The Carpenter's Shop, 1850, Pre-Raphaelite) with a flock of sheep outside of the window symbolizing the the laity). Right bottom: Edward VI and the Pope: An Allegory of Reformation (mirrored view, 16th century) with a violent scene of the reformation depicted outside of the window. Thomas Cranmer is second from left under the window. I think, Millais quoted from the 16th century painting: The red flower in Millais' window corresponds to a mutilated body visible through window in the 16th century painting. And Holiday (who perhaps understood Millais' quotes) quoted from Millais' painting as well as from the 16th century painting.Discussion: flickr

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.)
