Description: In this image Charlotte Lucas leaves Meryton after her marriage to Mr. Collins. She walks down the stairs of Longbourn speaking to Lizzy, who walks behind her. Charlotte asks Lizzy if she will come visit her at Rosings. Lizzy replies that she would come once Charlotte had gotten settled. This scene occurs in chapter 26. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Charlotte and Lizzy wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. Charlotte wears a coat, bonnet, and carries a muff. 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.
