A note for Miss Bennet

Description
-
In this image a letter arrives at Longbourn from Caroline Bingley inviting her to visit Netherfield Park. Mrs. Bennet decides to send Jane on horseback, even though it will rain so that Jane will have to spend the night at Netherfield. This scene occurs in chapter 7. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. The messenger wears a waistcoat and tailcoat. Jane and Mrs. Bingley wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. 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.
