Ninth of henry holiday's original ilustrations to "the hunting of the snark" by lewis carroll. From fit the seventh: the banker's fate. The banker is attacked by a bandersnatch, and goes insane. However, unlike the normal results of terror, which might cause someone to go white as a sheet in the face:
he was black in the face, and they scarcely could trace
the least likeness to what he had been:
while so great was his fright that his waistcoat turned white--
a wonderful thing to be seen!. . Down he sank in his chair--ran his hands through his hair--
and chanted in mimsiest tones
wrds whose utter inanity proved his insanity,
while he rattled a couple of bones. Date: Originally 1876, this edition 1931..
