Geographic: Europe; England; United Kingdom; Britain
Description: In this image Charlotte and Mr. Collins wave from the door of their home. Lizzy promised to come visit, and so she accompanied Sir William Lucas and Maria Lucas to the Parsonage near Rosings. This scene occurs in chapter 28. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Charlotte wears a regency style dress with an empire waistline. Mr. Collins wears a waistcoat and tailcoat. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
