EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Catherine grows quite a good looking-girl, 1907" transports us to the world of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Created by Charles Edmund Brock in 1907 and now part of a private collection, this print captures a pivotal moment in Catherine Morland's life. In the image, we see Catherine's parents, Reverend Richard and Mrs. Morland, strolling through a picturesque garden. As they walk along a serene path adorned with vibrant flowers, they engage in an animated conversation about their daughter's blossoming beauty as she reaches the age of fifteen. The watercolor technique used by Brock adds depth and softness to the scene, enhancing its charm and elegance. The Georgian era setting is beautifully depicted with attention to detail - from the characters' attire to the idyllic surroundings.
