Summary "Phiz" (Hablot Knight Browne), a Memoir by Frederic George Kitton is a biography written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and artistic contributions of Hablot Knight Browne, known as "Phiz," an influential illustrator whose work significantly shaped the illustrations of Charles Dickens and other notable authors. The memoir highlights the intersections of Browne's life with the literary figures of his time, particularly focusing on his roles and experiences as a book illustrator. The memoir delves into Browne's early life, education, and the evolution of his artistic career, particularly emphasizing his collaborations with Charles Dickens, beginning with the iconic "Pickwick Papers." Readers are introduced to various aspects of Browne's character, including his introverted nature and rich sense of humor, which often came through in his illustrations. The text includes a selection of Browne's correspondence and notable works, providing insight into his creative process, the challenges he faced, and the legacy he left behind in the world of literary illustration. Kitton's affectionate tribute not only aims to revive interest in Browne's significant but often overlooked contributions to art and literature but also preserves the essence of a man who greatly influenced how characters from Victorian literature are visually represented.
