I have divided Browne's career during the time of his collaboration with Dickens into three periods, and although there is unavoidable overlap given the facts of serial publication, the periods make sense in terms of stylistic development and certain milestones in the life or career. These lists make no claim to completeness or total accuracy, though they should be a considerable advance in both respects on Thomson's list; they are intended only as general guides to Phiz's career. With a few exceptions, I list no work that I have not actually seen myself, and those exceptions are marked with an asterisk.
