Artist's Comments

*Update: 2nd July, 2009; file replaced

I have my original artwork for Pride and Prejudice back, so as with the Miss Bingley illustration [link] , a larger and better file of this has now replaced the previous one. Again, this is from over two years ago.

Thank you so much!

:bye:

'An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth'

Illustration for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, published by The Folio Society, 2007. [link]

Pen & Ink and watercolour.

Pride and Prejudice was first written in 1797 (before Austen revised her manuscript in 1813), and the action was probably originally envisioned to take place around 1795/6. Although waistlines were beginning to rise then, this was still considerably before they had become the high Empire line most of us associate with Austen.

Mr and Mrs Bennet, as an older generation, would have still worn clothes of even up to two decades earlier.

You do such interesting work. And pay so much attnetion ^_^
Yes, a bigger file would be very nice :XD: it's a bit hard to see properly like this, because of the small details and the paleness of the browns (which I like, but... hard to distinguish without peering closely)

:rofl:

Thank you so much! :thanks:

Actually, this one is from last year (see notes), so I'm afraid it's not so new. But it's not too terrible to be in the gallery. I just need a better and larger scan to replace it.

This is absolutely stunning. I love pride and prejudice, and you've really captured the characters in this. :)
