Description: In this image Elizabeth and Maria get into the Gardiner’s carriage, leaving for London. As they got into the carriage, Mr. Collins reminded them they had forgotten to leave a message for Lady Catherine de Bourgh and her niece at Rosings. Mr. Collins said he would give the ladies their thanks and then closed the carriage door. This scene occurs in chapter 38. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Elizabeth and Maria wear the regency style with dresses with empire waistlines and bonnets. Mr. Collins wears a waistcoat and tailcoat. 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.
