Dalziel Brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dalziel Brothers were a highly productive firm of Victorian engravers founded in 1839 by Edward Dalziel (1817-1905), assisted by his brother George. They were later joined by John Dalziel and Thomas Dalziel (1823-1906). All were sons of a Northumbrian artist, Alexander Dalziel.
The Dalziel brothers worked with many important Victorian artists, producing illustrations for the burgeoning magazine and book market of the period. Among the artists they worked with were Arthur Boyd Houghton, John Gilbert, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and James McNeill Whistler. They also produced independent ventures, most notably The Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, (Routledge, 1864), illustrated by Millais.
