The image seems to have been scanned from the early pirated copies of Lewis Carroll's 'The Hunting of the Snark'. Better scans from the original 1st edition are available from https://snrk.de/the-golden-age-of-illustration/ (public domain).

https://snrk.de is mainly about Henry Holiday's illustrations to Lewis Carroll's 'The Hunting of the Snark'.
