Contents/Summary
- Summary
- "Illustrated by the lauded color-etching printer D. R. Wakefield, using contemporary characters to depict the members of the hunting party and even a portrait of the elusive Snark/Boojum. Wakefield’s etched portraits, ranging from Ted Hughes as the Broker to Morgan Freeman as the Butcher and the artist as the Bellman, bring a modern feel to this work." https://www.lewiscarroll.org/2019/04/05/seeking-it-with-thimbles-fine-press-and-artists-books/
