EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Piling up the fire" brings to life a scene from Jane Austen's beloved novel Pride & Prejudice. Created by Hugh Thomson in 1894, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of the story. The image depicts Mr. Bingley attentively tending to Miss Jane Bennet during her illness at Netherfield Park. The artist skillfully portrays the care and concern on Mr. Bingley's face as he diligently piles up logs on the fireplace, ensuring that his dear friend remains warm and comfortable. Jane Austen's timeless characters come alive through Thomson's detailed illustrations. The Georgian-era costumes worn by Mr. Bingley and Miss Bennet add an authentic touch to the artwork, transporting viewers back to Regency England. In this particular scene, we witness not only Mr. Bingley's gentlemanly nature but also his deep affection for Miss Bennet. As she rests and convalesces, their connection becomes evident through his attentive actions. Thomson masterfully captures both the interior setting and emotional depth of these characters in this enchanting print. It serves as a visual reminder of Austen's ability to create complex relationships within a society bound by strict social conventions. This exquisite piece is part of a private collection and showcases how art can bring literature to life while preserving its historical context for generations to come.
