Fourth illustration to "the hunting of the snark" by lewis carroll. From fit the second: the bellman's speech. This shows the bellman's map, which, being blank, is equally useful everywhere, unlike normal maps:
"other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
but we've got our brave captain to thank"
(so the crew would protest) "that he's brought us the best--
a perfect and absolute blank!". Date: Originally 1876, this edition 1931..
