  1. Left: Detail from an #illustration by #HenryHoliday to fit8 in #LewisCarroll’s "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (1876).
    Right: Detail from the painting "#TheBard" (c. 1817) by #JohnMartin (mirror view of a horizontally compressed detail).
    Background: Segment of John Martin's "The #Bard".

    I suggest that the #monstrance-like shape of the tree drawn by Henry Holiday is a #PictorialReference to the monstrance-like shape of a tree in John Martin's #painting.
