Archivo: Lewis Carroll - Henry Holiday - Hunting of the Snark - Plate 7

Description: Seventh of Henry Holiday's original ilustrations to "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll. From Fit the Fifth: The Beaver's Lesson. The Butcher and Beaver hear the song of the Jubjub bird, and this causes the Butcher to be reminded of his childhood, and begin a lengthy lesson to he Beaver. Afterwards, they become friends. As for the strange creatures: The Beaver brought paper, portfolio, pens,     And ink in unfailing supplies: While strange creepy creatures came out of their dens,     And watched them with wondering eyes.   So engrossed was the Butcher, the heeded them not,     As he wrote with a pen in each hand, And explained all the while in a popular style     Which the Beaver could well understand. The rest of the lesson is pretty much complete nonsense.
