«He had bought a large map representing the sea,
　Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
　A map they could all understand.»

#LewisCarroll’s #TheHuntingOfTheSnark (1876) has been published “with nine #illustrations by #HenryHoliday”. But there are ten illustrations. I suggest that the #OceanChart (aka #Bellman’s #map) is Carroll's design, who then commissioned a #typesetter with making the #PrintingPlate.
