 Telegraph | Arts | The man who made Dickens fizz
Hablot's official father was artistic but "feckless and often absent"; and at the time of Hablot's conception, it turns out, Katherine and a large part of her brood were in France, living apart from him.
Captain Nicholas Hablot went missing after the Battle of Waterloo, presumed dead by the Browne family: Lester urges the plausible thesis that Hablot was the illegitimate son of Kate and Nicholas, adopted by his grandmother to avoid scandal.
Hablot was given an apprenticeship to a firm of engravers by one of his (great)uncles, who also offered him drawing-lessons with the master of his choice.

 University of Delaware: LETTERS TO GORDON BROWNE
British painter illustrator Gordon Frederick Browne was born at Banstead, Surrey in 1858.
Although Gordon Browne never achieved the critical acclaim accorded his father -- in part because he never developed a longterm association with a noted author -- his work was recognized by his election to the Royal Institute in 1896.
This collection of letters to Gordon Browne consists of eighty-three letters written between 1875 and 1937, seventy-seven of which are addressed to this renowned British illustrator.

 Browne, Hablot Knight
Browne was a relative unknown replacing a highly experienced periodical cartoonist who had sold satirical prints in his own right.
From 1836 until 1859, Browne continued as illustrator-in-chief of Dickens's writings, ten of the novels being illustrated by him in etching or in wood- engraving, besides various "extra illustrations," and numerous duplicate etchings.
Although he continued etching and engraving until his death in Brighton in July, 1882, at the age of 67, Hablot Knight Browne was a relic of an earlier artistic era.

 Hablot Knight Browne (pseudonym "Phiz"), 1815-82.
Browne was a relative unknown replacing Seymour, a well-known artist and a highly experienced periodical cartoonist who had sold satirical prints in his own right.
In the summer of 1837, Browne accompanied Charles and Catherine Dickens on a holiday trip to Belgium; by the end of the year, he and Dickens were at work on a new picaresque novel, Nicholas Nickleby, research for which required their on-site investigation of several notorious Yorkshire schools.
The professional rift between Browne and Dickens probably owes something to way in which Dickens issued the weekly numbers of Household Words and its successor All the Year Round, for these tuppeny pulp journals were without illustration (Valerie Lester [2004] suggests a number of other reasons for the breakup).

Browne’s only formal education consisted of sporadic attendance at the St Martin’s Lane Academy life class and apprenticeship to the line-engraver William Finden.
Symptomatic of this accommodation of image to prose is Browne signing himself first ‘Nemo’ and then ‘Phiz’ (a depicter of physiognomies) to harmonize with Dickens’s ‘Boz’.
Browne played an important part, for instance, in the portrayal of Sam Weller, whom he made less wiry, less an example of what Dickens called ‘loutish humour’, but more resilient and knowingly ironical.

In English Book Illustration 1800-1900 (1947), James defines the illustrated book as "a partnership between author and artist to which the artist contributes something which is a pictorial comment on the author's words or an interpretation of his meaning in another medium" (7).
