In the top you see a detail from Henry Holiday's drawing for the illustration to the chapter The Vanishing in Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark . Based on that drawing, Joseph Swain cut the final illustration (1876). The pictorial citation style in the final wood cut seems to be a bit different from the style in Holiday's painting. Below the drawing you see a segment of Allegory to Iconoclasts (c. 1567) by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder. I did this comparison in 2009 and almost forgot it.
