"The 'Breaking Up' at Dotheboys Hall" is an illustration by Hablot Knight Browne, also known by his pen name Phiz, who was a famous 19th-century English artist renowned for his work in illustrating books by Charles Dickens. This particular illustration is from Dickens's novel "Nicholas Nickleby," which was published in serial form from 1838 to 1839. The image depicts a pivotal scene in which the abusive schoolmaster, Wackford Squeers, is confronted and ultimately defeated, leading to the downfall of his notorious boarding school, Dotheboys Hall.

In the illustration, the chaos and emotion of the scene are captured by Browne's detailed and expressive style. His work is characterized by its ability to convey the narrative and social commentary of Dickens's writing, often highlighting the injustices and hardships of Victorian society. "The 'Breaking Up' at Dotheboys Hall" is a significant example of Browne's collaboration with Dickens, as it visually represents a moment of triumph over cruelty and the end of suffering for the school's neglected pupils.

Hablot Knight Browne's illustrations were instrumental in shaping the public's perception of Dickens's characters and settings, and his work remains an essential component of the visual culture associated with Dickensian literature. "The 'Breaking Up' at Dotheboys Hall" is not only a piece of art but also a historical document that reflects the synergy between author and illustrator, contributing to the enduring legacy of "Nicholas Nickleby" and the broader critique of social issues in the Victorian era.
