Description
-
In this image Mr. Gardiner joins Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley fishing in the river near Pemberley. While the men were fishing, Elizabeth and Mrs. Gardiner visit Georgiana, Caroline Bingley, and Mrs. Hurst at Pemberley. This scene occurs in chapter 44. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mr. Gardiner, Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Bingley wear waistcoats and tailcoats with cravats and top hats. 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.
