@GambaJo -- Ich glaube, dass Beratung für Yoda Routine ist. In dem Geschäft ist er ja mindestens seit dem Jahr 1876.

This is one of several references (in an illustration to #LewisCarroll's "#TheHuntingOftheSnark") by #HenryHoliday to #MatthiasGrünewald's paintings (https://snrk.de/how-gustave-dore-might-have-played-with-pareidolia/#wildmen).

I found the hidden "head" (https://mastodon.art/@snark/109313077135427231) when working on this comparison.

In one of Henry Holiday's illustrations to Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" (1876), Louise Schweitzer ("One Wild Flower", 2012, page 223) found this allusion to John Everett Millais' "Boyhood of Raleigh" (https://snrk.de/holidays-butcher-and-millais-raleigh/).

Incidental or intentional? Whatever, the #copyright for Henry Holiday's depiction of the Baker's uncle (in Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark") has expired.

In Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark", the textual puns are accompanied by Henry Holiday's pictorial puns.

I think that Eliots comment on borrowing by poets applies not only to writers, but to all art thieves: https://snrk.de/on-borrowing/.
