 Dickens and Browne: Illustration, Collaboration, and Iconography
Browne must have been influenced to a degree by his tenure at Finden's, but the only known work tying him even indirectly to his unloved masters is Winkles's Cathedrals (1835-42), the first two volumes of which contained designs by Browne.
Browne's early development of the dark plate technique seems to have taken place outside of his collaboration with Dickens, particularly in his work for Charles Lever, and the really heavy use of emblematic detail first occurs not in Martin Chuzzlewit but a year or two earlier, in Thomas Miller's Godfrey Malvern.

But in Charles Lamb it is altogether one; his genius is talent, and his talent is genius, and his heart is as whole and one as his head.
It is strange that Charles and Mary Lamb, "an old bachelor and an old maid," as he put it, should have been so successful as caterers for children.
