EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration from the 1894 edition of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice captures a delightful moment between Mrs. Bennet and her daughter, Jane. Titled "Cheerful Prognostics" the engraving by Hugh Thomson brings to life an amusing scene from the beloved novel. In this particular episode, Mrs. Bennet insists that Jane should ride on horseback to Netherfield due to an impending rainstorm. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she predicts that once it starts raining, Jane will have no choice but to stay overnight at Netherfield. The humorous nature of Mrs. Bennet's character is beautifully portrayed through Thomson's intricate detailing and expressive lines. The illustration showcases the Georgian-era costumes worn by both mother and daughter as they prepare for their adventurous journey under uncertain weather conditions. It not only highlights the regency fashion but also adds depth to Austen's narrative by visually capturing the essence of each character. Thomson's skillful depiction perfectly encapsulates the wit and charm found within Austen's writing, making this print a wonderful addition for any fan or collector of literary art. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the lively world created by one of literature's most celebrated authors - Jane Austen herself.
