Fourth of Henry Holiday's original illustrations 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!"
