One thing cannot be said about Gordon Frederick Browne: he was not diligent. He has created thousands of drawings and paintings during his long and varied working life. From historical as well as current events and theatres of war to novel scenes, everyday scenes and landscapes, caricatures and children's drawings. This is why Gordon Frederick Browne - who liked to publish his self-written books for children under the pseudonym Nobody - is not considered one of the most famous, but one of the most productive painters and illustrators of his time in Great Britain.
Illustrated books as well as picture stories in newspapers and magazines enjoyed great popularity with the public, especially in the 19th century. The order situation was correspondingly good for those artists and professionals who knew what they were doing. Browne first learned his trade from his father Hablot Knight Browne. He was a famous illustrator of Charles Dickens' books under the name "Phiz" in England. While still studying art in London, Gordon was able to publish his first drawings in a book at the age of 17. Subsequently, he established himself as a regular supplier of images for numerous periodical magazines and a meticulous illustrator of a wide variety of books. Watercolour and pencil, these were the drawing methods chosen for the majority of his works. However, a special trademark of Gordon Brownes is his accuracy. Whether (historical) uniforms, weapons, dresses, saddlery or other objects - Browne read texts carefully, often did extensive research and sometimes procured suitable illustrative material in order to be able to draw them as accurately and in detail as possible.

While book illustrations initially served only as additional decoration, they developed over time into supplementary pictorial explanations and interpretations of the written word. Thus, drawings by Gordon Browne can be found in later book editions of such famous authors as Daniel Defoe (Robinson Crusoe), Jonathan Swift (Gulliver's Travels) or Robert Louis Stevenson. Of course, Browne also illustrated works by Shakespeare, as well as fairy tale books such as those by the Brothers Grimm. He himself published the book "Gordon Browne's Series of Old Fairy Tales". Browne lived out his humorous talent especially in his books for children and young people, which were often drawn in a simple style and provided with funny texts. As the title of one of his works already indicates: "Nonsense for somebody, anybody or everybody, especially the baby-body - Written and Illustrated by A. Nobody ".
