Description: In this image Elizabeth and the Gardiners look out a window at Lambton in Derbyshire. They encountered Mr. Darcy at Pemberley while visiting, and Mr. Gardiner invited him to come dine at Lambton. In this image, Elizabeth and the Gardiners await the carriage bringing Mr. Darcy, his sister, Georgiana, and Mr. Bingley. This scene occurs in chapter 44. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mrs. Gardiner and Elizabeth wear dresses with empire waistlines. Mrs. Gardiner wears a shawl over her dress and a bonnet. Mr. Gardiner 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.
