About This Book

A family memoir and professional chronicle by a member of a long-running engraving firm, recounting the brothers' origins, training, and evolution in the craft. It combines technical discussion of wood engraving and emerging photographic and half-tone reproduction methods with reproduced letters from artists praising the firm's work, plates of representative engravings, and a compiled catalogue of illustrated books produced or supervised by the studio. The volume also documents the printing office, the firm's pupils, and includes indexes and notes to illustrate five decades of practical and artistic activity.

He co-founded the Dalziel Brothers, a successful engraving firm that collaborated with many distinguished artists of the time, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones. Their work played a crucial role in the visual culture of the Victorian era. Dalziel's notable publication, "The Brothers Dalziel / A Record of Fifty Years Work in Conjunction with many of the Most Distinguished Artists of the Period 1840-1890," reflects on the firm's legacy and its impact on art and literature.
