· · 057· · He came as a Butcher: but gravely declared,
· · 058· · · · When the ship had been sailing a week,
· · 059· · He could only kill Beavers. The Bellman looked scared,
· · 060· · · · And was almost too frightened to speak:
· · 285· · But the Butcher turned nervous, and dressed himself fine,
· · 286 · · · · With yellow kid gloves and a ruff --
· · 287· · Said he felt it exactly like going to dine,
· · 288· · · · Which the Bellman declared was all "stuff."
· · 409· · Such friends, as the Beaver and Butcher became,
· · 410· · · · Have seldom if ever been known;
· · 411· · In winter or summer, 'twas always the same--
· · 412· · · · You could never meet either alone.

In Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark , the intertextuality of the poem is paralleled by the interpictoriality of Henry Holiday's illustrations: Here Henry Holiday reinterprets Marcus Gheeraerts I+II.
The image above shows Henry Holiday's illustration to the chapter The Banker's Fate . (A small part of the left side has been removed in order to achieve a 4:3 ratio. The largest size is 5696 x 4352 pixels.) To Holiday's illustration I added images from which, in my opinion, he had borrowed shapes and concepts:
(1) Under the Banker's arm:
* Horizontally compressed segment of The Image Breakers (1566-1568) aka Allegory of Iconoclasm , an etching by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder (British Museum, Dept. of Print and Drawings, 1933.1.1..3, see also Edward Hodnett: Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder, Utrecht 1971, pp. 25-29). I mirrored the "nose" about a horizontal axis (yellow frame).
(2) Under the Beaver's paw (mirror views):
