It lacks references... The Bandersnatch article says clearly where in the Lewis Caroll's works is saying that info on the Bandersnatch... I think it should be the same for the Snark... Also, I think it could have a Boojum section, saying all know info on differences between non-Boojum Snarks and Boojums... 200.230.215.9 00:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the word

[edit]

Nothing is mentioned about that. Is it a mixture of snake and shark? --Nushoin 23:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Ocean Map" not necessarily by Henry Holiday

[edit]

Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (1876) comes "with nine illustrations by Henry Holiday". But there are ten illustrations. One possible explanation: The Ocean-Chart in is not necessarily made by Henry Holiday and Joseph Swain. This is a typographical illustration. In the Knight Letter #87, Doug Howick assumes, that Lewis Carroll arranged this chart: http://archive.org/details/knightletterno8717lewi — Preceding unsigned comment added by DL5MDA (talkcontribs) 10:10, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The map (with specifying Henry Holiday as artist) was added with a frivolous caption to this article in 2014 (http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Snark_%28Lewis_Carroll%29&type=revision&diff=602274551&oldid=588133738). --DL5MDA (talk) 11:54, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
