Brown, Jones, and Robinson

.

Three Englishmen who travel together. Their adventures were published in Punch, and were the production of Richard Doyle. They typify the middle-class English abroad; and hold up to ridicule their gaucherie and contracted notions, their vulgarity and extravagance, their conceit and snobbism.
