Description
-
Here we see Mr. Martin measuring Harriet at his home where she spent several summers. Harriet remembers this after she encountered Mr. Martin and his sister, Elizabeth, when she was sheltering from the rain in a store when they came in. Harriet felt very awkward because it was the first time she had seen any of the Martins since she turned down Mr. Martin’s proposal. As soon as the rain let up Harriet ran to Harfield to tell Emma about this meeting. Harriet told Emma about this, feeling very overwhelmed with emotion. This scene occurs in chapter 21. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Harriet wears a regency style dress with an empire waistline. Mr. Martin wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a cravat. 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.
