The Brothers Dalziel A Record of Fifty Years Work in Conjunction with many of the Most Distinguished Artists of the Period 1840-1890

Description

"The Brothers Dalziel" by George Dalziel and Edward Dalziel is an autobiographical work published at the end of the nineteenth century. This record chronicles five decades of the Dalziel family's wood-engraving business in Victorian London, from 1840 to 1890. The brothers collaborated with celebrated artists including Millais, Rossetti, and Whistler, producing illustrations for iconic works like "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass." Their memoir captures the golden age of wood-engraving before photo-mechanical processes transformed the trade. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
