PHIZ AND MR. PICKWICK
Sir,-The illustration you print is not Seymour’s portrait of Mr. Pickwick "addressing the assembled members of the club," which does not show his toes, but whether it was drawn by Seymour or Phiz or anyone else is really beside the point as the conception of Pickwick copied by all later artists was undoubtedly "originally imagined" by Seymour and not by Phiz as you stated. The signature you reproduce is also beside the
point, as it is not of the artist, but of the engravers, the four brothers Dalziel, who also enggaved Tenniel’s illustrations to Alice in Wonderland. and many other
works.-
R.D.
McELDOWNEY

(The signature we reproduced was so mych to the point that it put us clearly in the wrong.-Ed.]
