EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the world of Jane Austen's beloved novel, Pride and Prejudice. The image depicts a pivotal moment between two characters: Mr Collins and Elizabeth Bennett. As we gaze upon this engraving by Hugh Thomson from 1894, we are transported into the drawing room where these two figures are seated. Mr Collins, portrayed with an air of pompousness, can be seen earnestly wooing Elizabeth with his proposal of marriage. His handkerchief clutched tightly in one hand reveals his nervousness as he tries to win her over. Meanwhile, Elizabeth sits opposite him, her expression a mix of surprise and disbelief at this unexpected turn of events. Thomson's skillful illustration captures the tension between these cousins perfectly - their body language speaks volumes about their contrasting personalities. The intricate details bring Austen's characters to life once again; every line etched on their faces tells a story. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we cannot help but feel drawn into the complex web of social expectations and romantic entanglements that Austen so masterfully crafted in her novels. This image serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal of Pride and Prejudice and its enduring relevance even today.
