EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece, created by Charles Edmund Brock in 1898, introduces the intriguing character of Mr. Shepherd from Jane Austen's novel "Persuasion." The image, part of the Art Institute of Chicago's extensive collection, is a testament to the rich heritage of British art from the 19th century. Brock's masterful use of pen and black ink with brush and watercolour on ivory wove card brings the scene to life. Mr. Shepherd, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, sits indoors, engrossed in a letter. His proud demeanor and the disapproving glance he casts towards the unsuspecting figure of Anne Elliot, who stands nearby, hint at the unwelcome advice and manipulation that lies ahead in Austen's tale of love and second chances. The meticulously detailed clothing, with its high-waisted breeches and crisp, white shirt, further emphasizes the elegance and sophistication of the era. The interior setting, with its ornate furnishings and intricate textured wallpaper, adds depth and context to the scene. Brock's skillful handwriting and lettering, adorning the title and chapter heading, add a touch of elegance and completeness to the illustration. This frontispiece serves as an enticing introduction to Austen's novel and a window into the world of Regency England.
