I always have been interested in arts and did some drawings too, but not too often. I also like to draw cartoons.
As an engineer (semiconductors industry) and as a member of the works council of my company I started to use one of Henry Holiday's illustrations to The Hunting of the Snark in presentations on workload issues (as defined in ISO 10075) since 2007. 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 believe, that Lewis Carroll's and Henry Holiday's The Hunting of the Snark is about legitimate (Snark) as well as about the violent (Boojum) conflict in belief systems, especially with regard to the history of Anglicanism.
