Left side: Two details from the illustration by #HenryHoliday to the chapter "The Hunting" in #LewisCarroll’s "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (woodcut by #JosephSwain)

Right side: The 1674 print depicting William III (#WilliamOfOrange) as well as the allegorical figures for “religion” and “liberty”, a “liberum belgium” motive.

Henry Holiday integrated three elements from that 1674 print into his illustration (1876). "Liberty" became "Hope" and "Religion" became "Care" (https://snrk.de/page_eagle-and-star/).
