EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "He had wholly forgotten his name" transports us into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's renowned masterpiece, The Hunting of the Snark. Created by Henry Holiday in 1896, this enchanting engraving captures a pivotal moment in the nonsensical poem where one of the adventurers finds himself lost amidst an extraordinary quest. The image portrays a bewildered man surrounded by various characters including a bellman, baker, billiard marker, broker, bonnet maker, and banker. With intricate details meticulously etched onto paper, Holiday skillfully brings to life Carroll's imaginative universe. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection, we are reminded of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's unparalleled ability to weave together words and images that challenge conventional storytelling. The Hunting of the Snark takes readers on an exhilarating journey as these intrepid explorers embark on their mission to capture a legendary beast. Within its verses lie hidden meanings and clever wordplay that continue to captivate audiences even today. This remarkable artwork not only serves as a visual representation of Carroll's literary genius but also stands alone as an exceptional piece within the realm of fine art. Its timeless appeal transcends generations and invites us all to embrace our sense of wonderment and curiosity. Step into this mesmerizing scene through this exquisite photo print; let it transport you into a world where imagination knows no bounds.
