File talk:Lewis Carroll - Henry Holiday - Hunting of the Snark - Plate 4.jpg

Not sure how it's among the "Maps of fictional places or locations" if it's a map of nothing... -- AnonMoos (talk) 08:25, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

There is no proof that this map has been made by Henry Holiday. --79.203.75.91 18:13, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

It's one of a set of illustrations to Snark... AnonMoos (talk) 13:43, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

The book it's from explicitly said it was. In books with only one illustrator, it's common for the book to name the illustrator on the title page, then not anywhere else. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

The map is neither signed by Henry Holiday nor by Joseph Swain. All other illustrations in the book are at least signed by Joseph Swain. But here there even isn't a woodblock. No book proves, that Henry Holiday created the map. And in the Charles Mitchell's chapter "The Designs for the Snark" in the centennial 1981 Kaufmann edition there is no mentioning of the map. Texts could very well have been written by Carroll/Dodgson only who then simply could have asked a typographer of Richard Clay (printer) to prepare the map. --DL5MDA (talk) 09:59, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

The title page in The Hunting of the Snark says: "with nine illustrations by Henry Holiday". But there are ten illustrations in the book. So the one illustration which is not made by Henry Holiday could very well be the OCEAN CHART. --DL5MDA (talk) 10:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

No evidence that the map is by Henry Holiday: Adam, the book says "with nine illustrations by Henry Holiday". There are 10 illustrations. Only nine of them clearly show Holiday's style. --DL5MDA (talk) 18:43, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
