Description: In this image Elinor and Marianne walk through the streets of Barton and speak with the children there. This scene occurs while Marianne and Elinor talk about what they will do once Marianne has fully recovered from her illness. This scene occurs in chapter 46. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Marianne and Elinor wear regency style dresses with empire waists. They wear bonnets and carry muffs. 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.
