Description

Fourth illustration to "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll.

From Fit the Second: The Bellman's Speech. This shows the Bellman's map, which, being blank, is equally useful everywhere, unlike normal maps:

"Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
    But we've got our brave Captain to thank"
(So the crew would protest) "that he's brought us the best--
    A perfect and absolute blank!"
Date Originally 1876, this edition 1931.
Source The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits by Lewis Carroll, MacMillan and Co, Limited, St. Martin's Street, London, 1931.
Author In "The Hunting of the Snark" there are ten illustrations and the illustrations to the front cover and the back cover. Nine illustrations (engraved by Joseph Swain) plus the front&back cover illustrations are made by Henry Holiday (1839-1927). The poetry is by Lewis Carroll [Real name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832-1896). For the map, typesetting has been used.
