1811 Austen Dashwood Drum Georgian Harry Sense Sensibility
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, published in 1811, depicts Austen John Dashwood, his wife Mary, and their young sons, John and Harry. The image offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the Dashwood family, who were related to the renowned English novelist Jane Austen through their connection to her sister, Cassandra. John Dashwood, the eldest son, is shown holding a toy drum, perhaps an indication of his playful nature and potential military aspirations. His younger brother, Harry, sits at his mother's feet, engrossed in a book, reflecting the importance of education in the Austen family. The family's elegant attire and refined surroundings are typical of the Georgian era, further emphasizing their affluence and social standing. Mrs. John Dashwood, with a warm and loving expression, gazes down at her sons, her hands gently resting on the arm of her chair. Her serene demeanor and nurturing presence convey the sense of sensibility and emotional intelligence that Austen's novels are renowned for. This print, a beautiful testament to family life in the early 19th century, also serves as a reminder of the literary legacy of the Austen family. With Jane Austen's groundbreaking novels, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma, already published or soon to be published, the family's literary achievements were already making a significant impact on English literature. The intricate details of the print, from the family's attire to the decorative elements in the background, offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Dashwoods and the broader social context of the time. This image continues to captivate and inspire, offering a unique perspective on the lives of a prominent literary family and the era in which they lived.
