"Mr. Wardle and his friends under the influence of the salmon" is an illustration by Hablot Knight Browne, also known by his pen name "Phiz." Browne was a prolific English artist, famous for his collaboration with Charles Dickens, for whom he illustrated many novels, including "The Pickwick Papers," "David Copperfield," and "Bleak House." This particular illustration is one of the many that Browne created for "The Pickwick Papers," which was published in serial form from 1836 to 1837.

In this artwork, Browne captures a humorous and convivial scene from the novel, where Mr. Wardle and his friends are depicted enjoying the effects of consuming salmon, likely a reference to a meal or gathering within the story. The illustration is characteristic of Browne's detailed and expressive style, which often included lively scenes full of character and movement, contributing significantly to the visual interpretation and enduring popularity of Dickens's works.

Browne's illustrations were integral to the storytelling of "The Pickwick Papers," with his images helping to shape the reader's imagination of Dickens's characters and settings. "Mr. Wardle and his friends under the influence of the salmon" is an example of Browne's ability to translate the humor and social commentary of Dickens's prose into visual form, enhancing the narrative and providing a deeper connection for the readers of the time.

As with many of Browne's illustrations for Dickens, this image would have been created through the etching process, a method that allowed for fine detail and mass reproduction in the 19th century. The collaboration between Dickens and Browne was a significant one in the history of literature and illustration, with Browne's work remaining influential in the field of book illustration and the visual arts.
