CARROLL, LEWIS.

The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits.

London Macmillan Publishers 1993 Small quarto. 41 pp. + (9) ff. of engravings. From an edition of 430 numbered copies, this is one of 74 copies accompanied by a portfolio containing prints of the nine Henry Holiday wood engravings with which the book is illustrated. A handsome edition of Carroll's nonsense poem, published several years after the more famous Jabberwocky. Although Holiday was not entirely consistent in the way he drew individual characters from illustration to illustration, nevertheless, the nine engravings are a delightful representation of Carroll's playful language. In quarter cloth boards with an inlaid, printed label on the front cover and gilt stamping to spine. Prints contained in a separate portfolio, housed together with the book in a matching slipcase. Book, prints, and slipcase all in very fine condition.
