An etcher of considerable skill, Frederic G. Kitton (1856-1904) devoted his life to illustrating and writing about the works of Charles Dickens. Here, he presents detailed studies of the illustrators who worked with Dickens and examines the relationships between author and artists, drawing on correspondence between them and reproducing preparatory sketches. Kitton's list of 16 illustrators includes "Phiz," George Cruikshank, Robert Seymour, George Cattermole and Sir John Tenniel. This is the most comprehensive review of the relationship of Dickens and his illustrators, accompanied by many illustrations, and is a scholarly document, helpful in understanding Dickens and his work. The work contains twenty-two portraits and facsimiles of seventy original drawings.
