SNARK FOOD
"‘What is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘without pictures or conversations?’"
~ Lewis Carroll, 1865, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
"All art is infested by other art."
~ Leo Steinberg in 'Art about Art', 1979
"We have neglected the gift of comprehending things through our senses. Concept is divorced from percept, and thought moves among abstractions. Our eyes have been reduced to instruments with which to identify and to measure; hence we suffer a paucity of ideas that can be expressed in images and in an incapacity to discover meaning in what we see. Naturally we feel lost in the presence of objects that make sense only to undiluted vision, and we seek refuge in the more familiar medium of words. ... The inborn capacity to understand through the eyes has been put to sleep and must be reawakened."
~ Rudolf Arnheim: 'Art and Visual Perception', 1974, p. 1
"Only those questions that are in principle undecidable, we can decide."
~ Heinz von Foerster: 'Ethics and Second-Order Cybernetics', Système et thérapie familiale, Paris, 1990-10-04
"It is possible that the author was half-consciously laying a trap, so readily did he take to the inventing of puzzles and things enigmatic; but to those who knew the man, or who have divined him correctly through his writings, the explanation is fairly simple."
~ Henry Holiday, 1898-01-29, on Lewis Carroll's 'The Hunting of the Snark'
"To the best of my recollection, I had no other meaning in my mind, when I wrote ['The Hunting of the Snark']: but people have since tried to find the meanings in it. The one I like best (which I think is partly my own) is that it may be taken as an Allegory for the Pursuit of Happiness."
~ Lewis Carroll (letter to Mary Barber), 1897-12-01
"L.C. has forgotten that 'the Snark' is a tragedy"
~ Henry Holiday (remark written on a letter received from L. Carroll), 1876-01-04](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l6iae4tlmgtc4xzkeb3oyjrn/bafkreice22hqtrrsjz5kwisp2mvi67gcmxiu6n7xtprevr2wu7hlpkfase)

On this day in 1556 Thomas Cranmer was burned at the stake. He hunted the Snark, but met the #Boojum.

Details: ※ https://snrk.de/faiths-victorie-in-romes-crueltie/#bm ※ https://snrk.de/knight-letter-100/ === upper image === Screenshot (2018) from the website of the British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1855-0512-317 "Faiths Victorie in Romes Crueltie" (published by Thomas Jenner, c. 1630) is an anti-catholic print showing English Protestant martyrs standing around a fire. Immediately to the right side of the fire, Thomas Cranmer is depicted burning his hand. Depicted martyrs: (A) Thomas Cranmer holding his hand into the flames, (B) Hugh Latimer, (C) Nicholas Ridley, (D) John Hooper, (E) John Philpot, (F) John Bradford, (G) John Rogers, (H) Laurence Saunders; (I) Rowland Taylor, (K) Thomas Bilney, (L) Robert Ferrar, (M) Robert Glover. Curator's comments (2016): "Hind misdated this print c.1556 (see Hind I p.6 note 1). The actual date was discovered by Malcolm Jones in the Stationers Register, where it was entered on 6 March 1630 (see Arber IV p.196). The name Ghest is included among the martyred, but he has not been identified. This is one of a number of earlier prints used by Henry Holiday in his illustrations to Lewis Carroll, The Hunting of the Snark, 1876 (information from Goetz Kluge, June 2016)" === lower image === Comparison (by Goetz Kluge) of the upper image to the the Illustration by Henry Holiday to the final chapter ("The Vanishing", https://snrk.de/snarkhunt/#561) of Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" (1876). In Holiday's illustration you can see something which looks like a "beak" which had snatched the Baker's hand. After rotating the "beak" by 120° counterclockwise, you can see a fire whith a hand reaching out from the flames. I think Holliday's Snark illustration is a pictorial reference to the "Faiths Victorie in Romes Crueltie" print where you can see Thomas Cranmer holding his hand into the flames. More: https://snrk.de/knight-letter-100/
In the Illustration by Henry Holiday to the final chapter ("The Vanishing") of Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" (1876), a hidden depiction of Thomas Cranmer's hand in the flames can be found.

This is a comparison between The Bellman's head on the front cover (designed by #HenryHoliday) of #LewisCarroll's #TheHuntingOfTheSnark and the head of #FatherTime in an English School painting (ca. 1610, by an unknown painter) of #QueenElizabeth I at old age (snrk.de/time/).

Photographic portrait (by Joseph Swain od Henry Holiday?) of Henry Holiday, illustrator of Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark". Two fingers of Holiday's left hand are unusually long. It seems that the photo had been manipulated in the lab of the #Victorian photographer. Further info: snrk.de/henry-holiday/
