Plate I of
Henry Holiday's original illustrations for the first edition of
Lewis Carroll's
The Hunting of the Snark, a
nonsense poem written in 1874 that tells the story of ten individuals who cross the ocean to hunt the
Snark. In common with other Carroll works, the meaning of the poem has been queried and analysed in depth. It is divided into eight "fits" (a
pun on the archaic
fitt meaning a part of a song, and fit meaning a
convulsion) and is by far Carroll's longest poem. (
