EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the enchanting world of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. The illustration, created by Hugh Thomson in 1894, beautifully captures a pivotal moment at the Netherfield ball. Sir William Lucas, with an air of superiority, interrupts Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet mid-dance. The scene is filled with tension as the elegant couple's conversation comes to an abrupt halt. Their eyes meet briefly before they are forced apart by social obligations. The exquisite detail in their regency-era costumes transports us to a time when dancing was not just a simple pastime but a means of courtship and communication. Thomson skillfully portrays Sir William Lucas as a snobbish gentleman who revels in his interruption, while Darcy and Elizabeth maintain their composure despite the unexpected intrusion. This image perfectly encapsulates the complex dynamics between characters that Austen so masterfully crafted. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be drawn into the story unfolding before our eyes - two lovers momentarily separated by societal constraints yet bound together through their unspoken connection on that crowded dance floor. Such very superior dancing is indeed rare to witness, both on paper and in reality.
