Events March 31 (dated April) – The first monthly part of The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens is issued in London. On April 20, the original illustrator, Robert Seymour, committed suicide.Robert William Buss, English Graphic Satire and its Relation to Different Styles of Painting (London: Virtue & Co. for the Author, 1874), p. 139 Seymour provided the illustrations for the first two instalments before his suicide. Robert William Buss illustrated the third instalment. Buss set aside his other work immediately. He prepared a dozen or so preliminary sketches for the novel, then in its second of twenty instalments. His drawings were regarded as adequate, but the process of etching on a steel plate was unfamiliar to him, so he hired an expert etcher. Buss realised that the "free touch of an original work was entirely wanting", and that the printed images lifted from his plates seemed lifeless and uninspired. He concluded, however, "Time was up"; the unsatisfactory illustrations for Part Three had to be issued.R. W. Buss, 'My connexion with The Pickwick papers' (2 March 1872), in W. Dexter and J. W. T. Ley, The origin of 'Pickwick' (1936) The publishers dismissed him summarily: this disturbed Buss for the rest of his life. The commission went instead to Hablot Knight Browne, but Buss never held his dismissal against Dickens. Instead, Buss remained his lifelong admirer and went on to produce several paintings celebrating the author's work, including the unfinished Dickens' Dream.http://www.charlesdickenspage.com/buss.html Charles Dickens Page Charles Dickens Page 2019-07-11 The remaining instalments were illustrated by Hablot Knight Browne, who illustrated most of Dickens's subsequent novels. Browne's first two etched plates for Pickwick were signed "Nemo", but the third was signed "Phiz", a pseudonym which he retained in his subsequent work. When asked to explain why he chose this name, Browne answered that the change from "Nemo" to "Phiz" was made to harmonize better with Dickens's "Boz".Thomson 1911 664 The novel's instalments were first published in book form in 1837.Dickens Charles The posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club Open Library 23001437M April 2 – Dickens marries Catherine Hogarth at St Luke's Church, Chelsea (London).

The publication of the play led to a great outcry in the reactionary press. It took the personal intervention of Nicholas I to have the play staged, with Mikhail Shchepkin taking the role of the Mayor. Nicholas I was personally present at the play's premiere at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg on April 19, 1836, concluding that "there is nothing sinister in the comedy, as it is only a cheerful mockery of bad provincial officials."Очень нервный вечер.
