"Mr. Weller and his friends drinking to Mr. Pell" is an illustration by Hablot Knight Browne, also known by his pen name "Phiz," who was a prominent 19th-century British illustrator. This artwork is one of the many illustrations created by Browne for the serialized novels of Charles Dickens. Specifically, it is associated with Dickens's novel "The Pickwick Papers," which was published in serial form from 1836 to 1837.

The illustration captures a scene from the novel where Mr. Samuel Weller, the valet of the protagonist Samuel Pickwick, is depicted enjoying a convivial moment with his friends, raising a toast to Mr. Pell. This scene is emblematic of the humor and social commentary that pervades "The Pickwick Papers," showcasing the camaraderie and the vibrant social life of the characters within Dickens's work.

Hablot Knight Browne's illustrations were integral to the success of Dickens's novels, as they visually brought to life the characters and scenes that Dickens so vividly described in his writing. Browne's detailed and expressive style contributed significantly to the Victorian public's imagination and understanding of the narrative, characters, and settings of the novel.

The collaboration between Charles Dickens and Hablot Knight Browne was one of the most fruitful in literary history, with Browne illustrating ten of Dickens's novels. His illustrations have become iconic representations of Dickens's characters and are still closely associated with the texts they accompany, offering readers a visual entry point into the world of 19th-century England as depicted by one of its most beloved authors.
