The Bandersnatch fled as the others appeared
In Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark, the intertextuality of the poem is paralleled by the interpictoriality of Henry Holiday's illustrations: Here Henry Holiday reinterprets Marcus Gheeraerts I+II.
The image above shows Henry Holiday's illustration to the chapter The Banker's Fate. (A small part of the left side has been removed in order to achieve a 4:3 ratio. The largest size is 5696 x 4352 pixels.) To Holiday's illustration I added images from which, in my opinion, he had borrowed shapes and concepts:
(1) Under the Banker's arm:
* Horizontally compressed segment of The Image Breakers (1566-1568) aka Allegory of Iconoclasm, an etching by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder (British Museum, Dept. of Print and Drawings, 1933.1.1..3, see also Edward Hodnett: Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder, Utrecht 1971, pp. 25-29). I mirrored the "nose" about a horizontal axis (yellow frame).
(2) Under the Beaver's paw (mirror views):
* [top]: Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger: Catherine Killigrew, Lady Jermyn (1614)
* [bottom, mirror view]: Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger: Mary Throckmorton, Lady Scudamore (1615)

THE BANKER'S FATE (post+pre banking crisis version!)
489· · They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
490· · · · They pursued it with forks and hope;
491· · They threatened its life with a railway-share;
492· · · · They charmed it with smiles and soap.
493· · And the Banker, inspired with a courage so new
494· · · · It was matter for general remark,
495· · Rushed madly ahead and was lost to their view
496· · · · In his zeal to discover the Snark
497· · But while he was seeking with thimbles and care,
498· · · · A Bankersnatch swiftly drew nigh
499· · And grabbed at the Banker, who shrieked in despair,
500· · · · For he knew it was useless to fly.
501· · He offered large discount--he offered a cheque
502· · · · (Drawn "to bearer") for seven-pounds-ten:
503· · But the Bankersnatch merely extended its neck
504· · · · And grabbed at the Banker again.
505· · Without rest or pause--while those frumious jaws
506· · · · Went savagely snapping around-
507· · He skipped and he hopped, and he floundered and flopped,
508· · · · Till fainting he fell to the ground.
509· · The Bankersnatch fled as the others appeared
510· · · · Led on by that fear-stricken yell:
511· · And the Bellman remarked "It is just as I feared!"
512· · · · And solemnly tolled on his bell.
513· · He was black in the face, and they scarcely could trace
514· · · · The least likeness to what he had been:
515· · While so great was his fright that his waistcoat turned white-
516· · · · A wonderful thing to be seen!
517· · To the horror of all who were present that day.
518· · · · He uprose in full evening dress,
519· · And with senseless grimaces endeavoured to say
520· · · · What his tongue could no longer express.
521· · Down he sank in a chair--ran his hands through his hair--
522· · · · And chanted in mimsiest tones
523· · Words whose utter inanity proved his insanity,
524· · · · While he rattled a couple of bones.
525· · "Leave him here to his fate--it is getting so late!"
526· · · · The Bellman exclaimed in a fright.
527· · "We have lost half the day. Any further delay,
528· · · · And we sha'nt catch a Snark before night!"
Hang It!
