Onwhyn, who was the son of a bookseller, seemed determined to make a _specialité_ of Dickens' illustrations, for in 1838 he issued through Grattan no less than forty designs for _Nicholas Nickleby_, signed Peter Palette; while in 1848 he executed a second set of _Pickwick_ plates, which, in consequence of the republication of the earlier set, were not brought out till 1894, eight years after the artist's death.	cache/33682.txt	txt/33682.txt
