EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "He had wholly forgotten his name" takes us on a whimsical journey into the world of Lewis Carroll's renowned poem, The Hunting of the Snark. Created by Henry Holiday in 1876, this historical print captures a moment of utter confusion and mystery. In this intriguing scene, we find ourselves amidst an array of characters from the nonsensical poem. A man stands at the center, surrounded by various objects that represent different professions - a baker's hat, billiard balls, and even a bonnet. Yet despite these clues to his identity scattered around him, he appears utterly perplexed as if he has completely lost touch with who he is. Henry Holiday's intricate illustration skillfully brings out the absurdity and enigma present in Lewis Carroll's work. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line meticulously etched to convey emotion and intrigue. As viewers delve deeper into this image, they are drawn into a world where logic defies reason. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to Carroll's imaginative genius. It invites us to question our own sense of self-identity while immersing ourselves in the delightful nonsense that defines Carroll's literary creations. As we gaze upon "He had wholly forgotten his name" we cannot help but be captivated by its charm and complexity—a timeless reminder that sometimes losing oneself can lead to unexpected adventures within one's imagination.
