Description
-
In this image Frank Churchill passes through the streets of Highbury in the Crown Inn’s chaise. He was on his way visiting his father and stepmother, Mr. And Mrs. Weston, at Randalls, to Richmond. He had been summoned to Richmond by his aunt who was becoming increasingly ill. This scene occurs in chapter 44. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Frank Churchill wears a top hat, and is seen through the carriage window. A boy in the street sees the carriage pass. He wears a waistcoat and 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.
