Description
-
In this image Fanny and her sister Susan were out on a walk with Mr. Crawford, who came to Portsmouth to visit her. They went into town and ran into their father, Mr. Price, and Fanny was obliged to introduce them. Fanny was concerned about her father’s conduct because he had a short temper, but he behaved very gentlemanly. This scene occurs in chapter 41. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny and Susan wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. Mr. Crawford and Mr. Price wear waistcoats and tailcoats with breeches. Mr. Crawford carries a walking stick and raises his top hat. Mr. Price raises his bicorn 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.
