Description
-
Here we see Harriet sheltering from the rain in a store when Mr. Martin and his sister Elizabeth 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. This scene occurs in chapter 21. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Harriet and Elizabeth Martin wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. They wear bonnets to protect their faces and Harriet holds an umbrella. Mr. Martin wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a cravat and a top hat. 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.
