Description: Here we see Mr. Crawford helping Maria Bertram into her carriage. Miss Mary Crawford and her brother, Mr. Henry Crawford, came to Mansfield to visit her sister, Mrs. Grant, after Dr. And Mrs. Grant moved into the Parsonage. The Bertram children, Tom, Edmund, Maria, and Julia, and their cousin, Fanny, went to dinner at the Parsonage shortly after the Crawfords arrived. In this image, Mr. Crawford helped Maria Bertram into the carriage, in which Julia Bertram is already seated. This scene occurs in chapter 5. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Maria and Julia wear the regency style dress with an empire waist. Mr. Crawford wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches. 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.
