Description
-
Here we see Edmund, Julia and Maria Bertram, Mr. Crawford, and Miss Crawford riding horses. Miss Crawford had never ridden before, so Edmund offered his spare horse, usually ridden by Fanny, to Miss Crawford to teach her to ride. They rode as a group, and Miss Crawford caught on quickly. Miss Crawford used Edmund's horse every day for a week, meaning that Fanny could not ride, denying Fanny her principal source of exercise. The group rode to show the Crawfords different sites in Mansfield. This scene occurs in chapter 7. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. The women ride side-saddle, wearing regency style dresses and coats with empire waists. Edmund and Mr. Crawford wear waistcoats and tailcoats, and top hats, 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.
