"Major Bagstock is delighted to have that opportunity" is an illustration created by Hablot Knight Browne, also known by his pseudonym "Phiz." Browne was a prominent English illustrator, best known for his work with Charles Dickens. This particular illustration is associated with Dickens' novel "Dombey and Son," which was first published in serial form between 1846 and 1848. The novel explores themes of family, business, and social class in Victorian England.

The character Major Joseph Bagstock, often referred to simply as Major Bagstock, is a bombastic and self-serving retired military officer. He is known for his exaggerated mannerisms and his sycophantic behavior towards Mr. Dombey, the novel's central character. The illustration captures a moment that epitomizes Major Bagstock's character, showcasing his delight and eagerness to ingratiate himself with those he perceives as socially superior.

Browne's illustrations were integral to the serialized publication of Dickens' works, providing visual context and enhancing the reader's experience. His collaboration with Dickens began with "The Pickwick Papers" and continued through many of Dickens' subsequent novels. Browne's ability to capture the essence of Dickens' characters and the atmosphere of his stories contributed significantly to the popularity and enduring legacy of these literary works.

"Major Bagstock is delighted to have that opportunity" exemplifies Browne's skill in character depiction and his keen eye for detail. The illustration not only complements the narrative but also offers insights into the social dynamics and character interactions within the story. Through his art, Browne helped to bring Dickens' vivid characters to life, making them more accessible and memorable to readers of the time and to future generations.
