It is possible that the author was half-consciously laying a trap, so readily did he take to the inventing of puzzles and things enigmatic; but to those who knew the man, or who have devined him correctly through his writings, the explanation is fairly simple.

Just let us assume, that Holiday only wanted to draw a rock in his illustration. And also let us assume, that this rock would not be related to the besom broom in Gheeraert's etching. When the illustration was finished, Holiday may have lookt at his ilustration asking, how his work will be perceived by Lewis Carroll and later by the readers of the Hunting of the Snark. What did Holiday see looking at his own work?
