For a special limited edition of "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark#", #IanMortimer was commissioned by Macmillan Publishers to print #HenryHoliday's illustration to #LewisCarroll's tragicomedy from the original wood-engraved blocks. The Holiday illustrations in all 19th-century editions were printed from #electrotypes (http://www.victorianweb.org/art/illustration/tech1.html).
