Description: Here we see Edmund shakes Mr. Crawford’s hand, as he leaves Mansfield to go to London. Mr. Crawford had been flirting with both Maria and Julia Bertram, despite Maria’s engagement to Mr. Rushworth. Julia was glad to see him leave, because it had become clear that he preferred Maria, even though she was unavailable. This scene occurs in chapter 20. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Edmund and Mr. Crawford wear waistcoats and tailcoats, with breeches and cravats. Mr. Crawford also wears an overcoat 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.
