The Brothers Dalziel were a highly productive firm of Victorian engravers founded in 1839 by George Dalziel (1815 \u2013 1902) and his brother Edward Dalziel (1817 \u2013 1905). George Dalziel trained under Charles Gray in London from around 1835. They were later joined by John Dalziel and Thomas Dalziel (1823 \u2013 1906).

The Dalziel brothers worked with many important Victorian artists, producing illustrations for the burgeoning magazine and book market of the period.

He moved to the British Museum in 1848 and became the preferred illustrator for explorers and naturalists including David Livingstone, Alfred Russel Wallace and Henry Walter Bates. Wolf depicted animals accurately in lifelike postures and is considered one of the great pioneers of wildlife art.

Edward Dalziel, born in 1817 in Wooler, was the fifth of twelve sons of a Northumbrian artist. In 1839, he joined his brother George in London to build the renowned engraving firm that worked on so many important nineteenth-century British book illustrations. The Dalziel brothers -- the name is pronounced "dal-iel" -- were the leading Victorian wood-engravers, and they created the actual blocks from which illustrations were printed, using both their own original drawings or, more often, work by other artists, including, Arthur Boyd Houghton, John Gilbert, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
