Item Details

Description

An Agony, in Eight Fits' Nineteenth edition, very scarce. Illustrated by Henry Holiday. Publishers gilt decorated red cloth with red title. Gilt title to spine. Colour endpapers. Gift inscription on inside. Frontispiece plate with tissue-guard. Full-page plates. Minor foxing to title page. The plot follows a crew of ten trying to hunt the Snark, which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum. The only one of the crew to find the Snark quickly vanishes, leading the narrator to explain that it was a Boojum after all. Carroll often denied knowing the meaning behind the poem; however, in an 1896 reply to one letter, he agreed with one interpretation of the poem as an allegory for the search for happiness. Henry Holiday, the illustrator of the poem, considered the poem a "tragedy". A very scarce copy.;
