The Brothers Dalziel







 George Edward, John and Thomas Dalziel (collectively 1816-1906) were the leading wood engravers of the Victorian period. 






Their facility for engraving their client-artists' drawings was much more elaborate than anything attempted in this medium before. 







When not engraving the work of other artists they did some illustrations of their own.






 In their eighties, George and Edward collaborated on a volume entitled The Brother Dalziel (1901), a record of their distinguished career which had proved so invaluable which had proved so invaluable to the leading book illustrators of the 19th century.
