Description
-
Here we see Mr. Crawford and Fanny outside her home in Portsmouth. Still trying to convince Fanny to fall in love with him, Mr. Crawford travelled to Portsmouth to see her. He stayed for a few days, visiting her every day. They went on daily walks with her family and walked them home to their door. Before leaving Portsmouth, Mr. Crawford assured Fanny that should she ever want to return to Mansfield and Sir Thomas was unable to send someone to get her, she need only write to Mary Crawford, and he would come directly himself to bring her home. This scene occurs in chapter 41 as noted underneath the title of this image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny wears the regency style dress with an empire waist. Her hair is worn tied up and wears a bonnet. Mr. Crawford wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, top hat, and knickers that stop at the knee. In his hand he holds 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.
