Description

First of Henry Holiday's original ilustrations to "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll.

This illustrates the opening of "Fit the First": The Landing.

"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried,
    As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
    By a finger entwined in his hair.
