Phiz

Pseudonym used by Hablot Knight Browne (1815–82) as an illustrator of books. It was devised to go well with 'Boz', the pen name of *Dickens, who chose Browne in 1836 to illustrate *Pickwick Papers. The works of Dickens have given Phiz his lasting reputation, for he went on to illustrate Nicholas Nickleby (1839), Martin Chuzzlewit (1844), Dombey and Son (1848), David Copperfield (1850), Bleak House (1853), Little Dorrit (1857) and A Tale of Two Cities (1859).
