EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from Jane Austen's beloved novel, Pride & Prejudice. Illustrated by Hugh Thomson in 1894, the engraving depicts Mr. Darcy seated next to Mrs. Long at the Meryton assembly. The scene is filled with tension as he remains silent throughout their encounter. Thomson skillfully portrays Mr. Darcy's aloofness and enigmatic nature through his body language and facial expression. Despite being surrounded by lively dancers and animated conversations, he sits stoically beside Mrs. Long for half an hour without uttering a single word. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the Georgian-era costumes worn by the characters, transporting us back to Regency England where societal norms dictated every interaction. Mr. Darcy's silence speaks volumes about his character - perceived as antisocial or unsociable by some, yet intriguingly mysterious to others. This illustration beautifully captures the essence of this complex literary figure who has captured readers' hearts for centuries. Jane Austen's timeless tale of love, pride, and prejudice comes alive through Thomson's masterful artwork in this edition published over a century ago. As we gaze upon this exquisite print, we are reminded of the power of visual storytelling and how it can transport us into another world – one filled with romance, social intrigue, and unforgettable characters like Mr. Darcy himself.
