Numbering of the Plates
re: «Plate X of Henry Holiday's original illustrations for the first edition of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark»

Is "Plate X of Henry Holiday's original illustration" correct? There are only 9 (not 10) illustrations by Henry Holiday (engraved by Joseph Swain) in Carroll's tragicomedy (plus two illustrations by Holiday on the book covers). The "OCEAN CHART" illustration neither is signed by Henry Holiday nor signed by Joseph Swain. I assume that Carroll commissioned a typesetter to produce that minimalistic illustration (see also https://snrk.de/page_the-ocean-chart/). --DL5MDA (talk) 14:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Point, although it is the tenth plate. Perhaps "Plate X, by Henry Holiday" which is subtly different - it's the tenth plate, AND by Henry Holiday? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 19:59, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
