Plate VIII - Fit the Sixth: The Barrister's Dream. Original scan: File:Lewis Carroll - Henry Holiday - Hunting of the Snark - Plate 8 unrestored.png

Plate IX - Fit the Seventh: The Banker's Fate. After being attacked by a Bandersnatch: He was black in the face, and they scarcely could trace
The least likeness to what he had been:
While so great was his fright that his waistcoat turned white--
A wonderful thing to be seen!

Plate V - Fit the Third:
"But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day,
If your Snark be a Boojum! For then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!"

Plate VI - Fit the Fifth: They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
They persued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap.

Plate VII - Fit the Fifth The Beaver brought paper, portfolio, pens,
And ink in unfailing supplies:
While strange creepy creatures came out of their dens,
And watched them with wondering eyes.

Plate X - Fit the Tenth In the midst of the word he was trying to say
In the midst of his laughter and glee,
He had softly and suddenly vanished away--
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.

Reason
These engravings were created with Lewis Carroll's assistance and approval, which makes them have very high encyclopedic value for the poem. They are all restored images. See above for the rest. This is a featured picture set nomination.

  • The arrangement of the images is not good for viewers, l would you reduce the image sizes a bit and rearrange them for better looking? But overall those are interesting and good in shape.--Caspian blue 05:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
  • The images are currently arranged in order, as the set would also follow in the order (as intended as illustrations for the poem). What size would you suggest that they be changed to? The current size fits within my browser with extra space (2 per line). Is this different for other browsers? Ottava Rima (talk) 16:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
    • Maybe a gallery would be more helpful. This takes up a lot of space. wadester16 20:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
      • That's what I thought, but I was not sure whether using a gallery template is allowed for FP nomination. For close evaluation, viewers have to click and see each image in the originally uploaded size anyway. --Caspian blue 20:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
        • I'm not really seeing a problem here, as the formatting doesn't seem to push them over the edge, and no one so far has actually bothered to look at the pictures and review them. Can we please have some supports or objections based on the criteria? I really don't care about the formatting of the nomination and I already changed it about 8 times. If someone else thinks they can do better, then please feel free to. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
