"We Arrive Unexpectedly at Mr Peggotty's Fireside" is an illustration by Hablot Knight Browne, also known by his pen name "Phiz," created for the serialized publication of Charles Dickens's novel "David Copperfield." Browne was a prominent British illustrator in the 19th century, known for his close collaboration with Dickens, having illustrated ten of his novels. The artwork in question is one of the many illustrations Browne provided for "David Copperfield," which was first published in 1850.

The illustration captures a moment from the novel where characters arrive unexpectedly at the home of Mr. Peggotty, a warm-hearted fisherman and one of the novel's most endearing characters. Mr. Peggotty's fireside is symbolic of the comfort and hospitality that he extends to others, including his adopted niece Little Em'ly and the orphaned Ham. Browne's work is characterized by its detailed depiction of Victorian life and its ability to convey the emotional undercurrents of Dickens's narrative.

As an illustrator, Browne played a significant role in shaping the visual culture of the Victorian era, with his images contributing to the public's imagination of Dickens's characters and settings. "We Arrive Unexpectedly at Mr Peggotty's Fireside" is an example of how Browne's illustrations were integral to the reader's experience of the serialized stories, providing a visual complement to Dickens's richly textured prose. The illustration not only captures the essence of the scene but also reflects the broader themes of hospitality, family, and the comforts of home that are central to "David Copperfield."
