Description: In this image Sir William Lucas leaves Charlotte and Mr. Collins in Hunsford. Sir William went to visit his daughter and son-in-law after their marriage. He only stayed a week and after being convinced that Charlotte was settled comfortably, he returned to Meryton. This scene occurs in chapter 30. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Sir William and the driver wear waistcoats and tailcoats. 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.
