Map propably made by a tyopgrapher
[edit]
The map is neither signed by Henry Holiday nor by Joseph Swain. All other illustrations in the book are at least signed by Joseph Swain. But there even isn't a woodblock. No book proves, that Henry Holiday created the map. And in the Charles Mitchell's chapter "The Designs for the Snark" in the centennial 1981 Kaufmann edition there is no mentioning of the map. Texts could very well have been written by Carroll/Dodgson only who then simply could have asked a typographer of Richard Clay (printer) to prepare the map. --DL5MDA (talk) 10:13, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
