Description: (Newell, Peter). ORIGINAL INK AND WATERCOLOR DRAWING BY PETER NEWELL, PUBLISHED IN LEWIS CARROLL'S, THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK AND OTHER POEMS AND VERSES. Carroll, Lewis. The Hunting of the Snark and other Poems and Verses; with 40 illustrations by Peter Newell. New York and London: Harper & Brothers Publishers, [1903]. Ink and watercolor on paper measuring 7-1/16" x 11-1/16", mounted to board measuring 11-11/16" x 15-5/8"; signed "PETER NEWELL" lower right. Newell's illustrations for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1901), "Through the Looking-Glass" (1902), and "The Hunting of the Snark" (1903), a nonsense poem, are some of the most original interpretations of these three classics written by Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. The whimsical and hilarious drawing offered in this listing, appears facing page 170 in "The Hunting of the Snark" with the caption, "Beau - ootiful soo - oop! Beau - ootiful soo - oop!" It illustrates the poem "Turtle Soup" that appears on page 171 in the book. The condition of the drawing is VERY FINE. Note: This is the only original artwork from this book to ever appear on the market and the piece is really quite wonderful.
