The illustration is one of many that Browne produced for Dickens's works, and it captures a pivotal and humorous moment in the narrative when the protagonist, Samuel Pickwick, is discovered in a compromising and unintentional embrace with his landlady, Mrs. Bardell. This incident leads to a series of misunderstandings and legal troubles for Mr. Pickwick, as Mrs. Bardell interprets his actions as a proposal of marriage.

Browne's work is characterized by its detailed line work and its ability to convey the humor and pathos of Dickens's stories. "Mr. Pickwick is found by his friends with Mrs Bardell in his arms" is a prime example of Browne's skill in visual storytelling, as it encapsulates the characters' emotions and the social mores of the time, which are central themes in "The Pickwick Papers."

The collaboration between Charles Dickens and Hablot Knight Browne was one of the most fruitful in literary history, with Browne's illustrations helping to define the visual iconography of Dickens's characters and settings for contemporary audiences and for posterity. This particular illustration not only serves as a key moment in the novel but also as a testament to the enduring partnership between author and illustrator, which helped to shape the Victorian literary landscape.
