Barnaby Rudge Illustrations

Illustrations by Hablot Browne and George Cattermole

Illustrations for Barnaby Rudge, which appeared in Dickens weekly Master Humphrey's Clock from February 1841 to November 1841, were engraved in wood and dropped into the text. Hablot Browne (Phiz) and George Cattermole provided the 76 illustrations (most for any Dickens novel) with Browne supplying 59 and Cattermole 17. As with The Old Curiosity Shop Browne did most of the character sketches with Cattermole supplying the architectural interiors and exteriors. The woodcuts were engraved by Landells, Gray, Williams, and Vasey.
