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.

On this day, 193 years ago, Lewis Carroll was born in Daresbury, Cheshire, England.

His masterpiece is a long tragicomical poem. On 25 October 1875, almost 150 years ago, Carroll gave it the title "The Hunting of the Snark" (snrk.de/snarkhunt).

As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.»

snrk.de/snarkhunt/#q...
https://snrk.de/snarkhunt/#quotes 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

By the way, whoever owns Yoda, they don't own Henry Holiday's depiction of the Baker's Uncle in Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" (1876).

A painting by Henry Holiday (1839-1927) is this week's writing prompt. Are you going to focus on one of the girls? Or perhaps on their audience? #writingprompts #writinglilfe #writingtips #artworks #henryholiday
On the left, a young girl with long fair hair is playing a violin while looking at the sheet music on a wooden stand a taller and older fair-haired girl on the right, holding a violin against her hip, is turning. The younger girl is wearing a gown with elaborate ruched and puffed blue velvet sleeves trimmed with lace and a loose beige/cream-coloured silk/satin grown with a lace ruffle at her throat. The older girl is wearing a dark green velvet dress over a paler green blouse with elbow-length sleeve puffs and long embroidered cuffs trimmed by lace. The older girl is looking at the viewer with pale blue eyes. The girls are in a panelled room with an open doorway into a much lighter room behind them.
