Note: I'm afraid I somehow badly messed up with this scan, and took it at a much too small size. For convenience, I've uploaded a hastily touched-up version, but this is temporary.

Description

The title page of the Richard Bentley edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, the first illustrated edition. Elizabeth on the left, Lady Catherine on the right.

This, along with File:Pickering - Greatbatch - Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice - She then told him what Mr. Darcy had voluntarily done for Lydia.jpg, are the first published illustrations of Pride and Prejudice.[1]

They are shown wearking big-sleeved and big-skirted 1830's fashions, rather than the quasi-"Grecian" Empire Silhouette / Regency fashions which were worn during Jane Austen's adult life.
