EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Supporting each man on the top of the tide pub. 1876" we are transported to a whimsical world created by Henry Holiday, inspired by Lewis Carroll's famous poem, "The Hunting of the Snark". The image showcases an array of intriguing characters gathered at the shore, ready to embark on a mysterious adventure. At first glance, our attention is drawn to a group of men standing together in unity atop a wave. Each man exudes confidence and determination as they support one another amidst the tumultuous tide. Their distinct appearances - from their boaters and spectacles to their sailor attire and waders - hint at their individual roles in this fantastical journey. Holiday's intricate details bring life to these fictional characters: the bellman with his quill pen poised for action; the enigmatic figure with a fob chain dangling from his waistcoat; and even a curious seafarer peering through his telescope into unknown horizons.

This enchanting illustration not only captures our imagination but also reflects Carroll's nonsensical yet thought-provoking narrative style. It invites us to join these brave souls as they set sail towards an elusive creature known as the Snark. Henry Holiday's masterful craftsmanship combined with Lewis Carroll's imaginative storytelling make this print from Heritage Images truly remarkable – transporting us into a world where anything is possible, if only we dare venture forth into un
