Artist: Henry Holiday
Title: Illustration from the Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll
Date: 1876
Nationality: British
Pillow: domed, on table
Bobbins: none shown
Comments: This is an illustration from a nonsense poem, hence the beaver making lace! The relevant quotes are given here. The picture unfortunately is not very convincing, with pins stuck in at random all over the pillow, and no bobbins at all.
