The tools for arranging this picture were GIMP and Inkscape. To Lillian Schwartz such tools of course were not available when she pioneered the application of computers to arts. Now everybody can create art works like Schwartz' Mona Leo. Yet, the computer cannot replace our brains. In the end it is on us to see and to understand. However, as for Henry Holiday's illustrations, our brains still seem to be snarked. How to see, what Henry Holiday left to us? The method employed I would gladly explain, while I have it so clear in my head, if I had but the time and you had but the brain - but much yet remains to be said.

Description
English: Painting (1891) by Hubert von Herkomer and segments of an illustration (1876) by Henry Holiday for The Hunting of the Snark: The Billiard Marker got his chin back from Liddell, and Liddell got the Billiard Marker's wig. Now the shadow under the chin makes sense.
Date (Holiday), 1891 (Hubert von Herkomer), 2009-01-11 (Comparison of both illustrations by user:DL5MDA)
