Bridecake and an Ocean Plait


Bridecake, an illustration by JVL in Lewis Carroll's 
The Hunting of the Snark, Artists' Choice Editions, 2006.

The Text:

 13
He came as a Baker: but owned, when too late--
 And it drove the poor Bellman half-mad--
 He could only bake Bridecake--for which, I may state,
 No materials were to be had.


An ocean plait, an illustration by JVL in Lewis Carroll's 
The Hunting of the Snark, Artists' Choice Editions, 2006.

This is placed as a preliminary illustration in the book, something that might have been useful to the Snark Hunters on board ship, to avoid slipping on deck.
