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 violence scene of the reformation depicted outside of 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.
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.
