Talk:Snark (Lewis Carroll)

Untitled
It lacks references... The Bandersnatch article says clearly where in the Lewis Caroll's works is saying that info on the Bandersnatch... I think it should be the same for the Snark... Also, I think it could have a Boojum section, saying all know info on differences between non-Boojum Snarks and Boojums... 200.230.215.9 00:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Origin of the word
Nothing is mentioned about that. Is it a mixture of snake and shark? --Nushoin 23:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

"Ocean Map" not necessarily by Henry Holiday
Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (1876) comes "with nine illustrations by Henry Holiday". But there are ten illustrations. One possible explanation: The Ocean-Chart in is not necessarily made by Henry Holiday and Joseph Swain. This is a typographical illustration. In the Knight Letter #87, Doug Howick assumes, that Lewis Carroll arranged this chart: http://archive.org/details/knightletterno8717lewi — Preceding unsigned comment added by DL5MDA (talk • contribs) 10:10, 1 May 2015 (UTC)


 * The map (with specifying Henry Holiday as artist) was added with a frivolous caption to this article in 2014 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Snark_%28Lewis_Carroll%29&type=revision&diff=602274551&oldid=588133738). --DL5MDA (talk) 11:54, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
