Description

In this image Mr. Frank Churchill looks into the Crown Inn while on a walk with Emma and Mrs. Weston. Frank Churchill was Mr. Weston's from an earlier marriage. He came to Highbury in February after Mr. And Mrs. Weston’s wedding, meeting Mrs. Weston for the first time. Emma became very fond of Frank Churchill believing she was in love with him. This scene occurs in chapter 24. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Emma and Mrs. Weston wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. They wear bonnets to protect their faces from the sun and carry parasols. Mr. Frank Churchill wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a cravat. He has a top hat and carries a walking stick. 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.
