Summary
Page 185--from scan of book "Dombey and son" by Charles Dickens. Illus by Hablot Knight Browne. [Caption: The wooden midshipman on the look out]
Hablot Knight Browne (1815–1882) British artist, preeminent as an interpreter and illustrator of Dickens’ characters. Browne was early apprenticed to the engraver William Finden, in whose studio his only artistic education was obtained. At the age of 19 he abandoned engraving in favour of other artistic work, and a meeting with Dickens two years later determined the form which this would take.
