The Hunting of the Snark is a poem composed by the English writer Lewis Carroll between 1874 and 1876, typically characterised as a nonsense poem. The plot follows a crew of ten who cross the ocean to hunt the Snark, which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum. This is the second of Henry Holiday's original illustrations for the first edition of the poem. It introduces some of the crew, whose names all start with "B"; the Bellman and Baker are on the upper deck, with the Barrister seated in the background; below are the Billiard-marker, the Banker and the Broker, with the maker of Bonnets and Hoods visible behind.

In addition to the War Requiem, another concert, featuring the Berlin philharmonic orchestra playing Bruckner's 9th symphony also occurred. According to this post<ref>"the Berlin Philharmonic (conducted by Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt) performed Beethoven Symphony no 7 and Bruckner Symphony no 9." this concert happened "the day after the royal train arrived", ie on 26th May. https://www.historiccoventryforum.co.uk/main/forum-posts.php?id=9513&s=15&show_cats=all (to edit into main article)
