Anne I?
Detail from Henry Holiday's illustration to the back cover of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (1876).
I don't unterstand this pattern (if it is a pattern).
Perhaps it is not meant to be understood. Or it is no "meaningful" pattern at all.
The pattern is clearly distinguishable from its environment. The letter-like shapes shown below the image are the result of very simple linear transformations using GIMP. Yet, I still can't say whether these are letters or just meaningless shapes.
Is there any meaning? Should the "letters" be rotated and/or mirrored again? Is there a word game ("Anne I" beside a buoy) related to Anne Boleyn? (In his illustrations, Holiday clearly alluded to other historical figures related to Anne Bolyen, e.g. Queen Elizabeth I.)

Holiday knew how to put the beholders of his illustrations into trouble.
