EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "To pursue it with forks and hope, pub. 1876" is a remarkable piece of art created by Henry Holiday. This print is derived from Lewis Carroll's famous nonsense poem, "The Hunting of the Snark, an Agony in Eight Fits" published in 1876. The image showcases a diverse group of characters including an anchor, baker, barrister, beaver, bellman, Britannia, broker, judge and more. Holiday's intricate illustration transports us into the whimsical world of Carroll's poem. Each character is meticulously depicted with incredible attention to detail - their expressions capturing both curiosity and determination as they embark on this mysterious hunt for the elusive Snark. Intriguingly enough, amidst this eclectic ensemble stands a Madonna-like figure holding a pitchfork while gazing through a telescope. This unexpected combination adds an element of surrealism to the scene. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this engraving from Heritage Images takes us back to the enchanting era when literature seamlessly blended with visual artistry. It serves as a testament to Carroll's imaginative storytelling prowess and Holiday's exceptional talent for bringing his words to life. This particular print offers viewers an opportunity to delve deeper into Carroll's nonsensical universe while marveling at Holiday's skillful interpretation. A true treasure for any admirer of classic literature or fine art alike!
