Geographic: Europe; England; United Kingdom; Britain
Description: Here we see Edmund riding into Mansfield after being absent in Thornton Lacey raising his top hat to Mr. And Miss Crawford. Edmund was surprised to see them, as he thought that they would have left to go to London before he returned. This scene occurs in chapter 34. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Miss Crawford wears a regency style dress with an empire waist. Mr. Crawford and Edmund wear waistcoats and tailcoats with breeches and top hats. Mr. Crawford holds up his walking stick in greeting Edmund. 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.
