The Brothers Dalziel

[1] Along with at least three older brothers and one younger, they were children of the artist Alexander Dalziel of Wooler in Northumberland.

[citation needed] The Dalziel Brothers worked with many important Victorian artists, producing illustrations for the burgeoning magazine and book market of the period.

They cut the illustrations to Edward Lear's Book of Nonsense (1862); Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

They also produced independent ventures, most notably The Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (London: Routledge, 1864), illustrated by Millais, and contributed humorous cartoons to magazines such as Fun, which George and Edward acquired in 1865.

[3] George Dalziel is buried in a family vault in the Egyptian Avenue in Highgate Cemetery.
