| | Edward Dalziel (1817-1905) and Thomas Dalziel (1823-1906) |
 | | The Dalziel brothers -- the name is pronounced "dal-iel" -- were the leading Victorian wood-engravers, and they created the actual blocks from which illustrations were printed, using both their own original drawings or, more often, work by other artists, including, Arthur Boyd Houghton, John Gilbert, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. |
 | | In 1860, Thomas Dalziel joined the now-famous firm, the fourth family memmber to do so (John having joined in 1852). |
 | | Dalziel engravings were used exclusively for the Chapman and Hall/Charles Scribner's Sons Anglo-American collaboration Centenary Edition of the Works of Charles Dickens (1911), to which E. Dalziel contributed illustrations, along with such prominent late Victorian illustrators as Marcus Stone, Fred Walker, F. Fraser, H. French, J. Mahony, Townley Green, and Charles Green. |
