Description: In this image Mr. Price holds out the local newspaper out to Fanny, who is not pictured. In the latest news, Fanny’s cousin Maria had run away from her London home in Wimpole Street, where she lived with her husband, Mr. Rushworth. Maria ran away with Mr. Crawford, causing a scandal. This scene occurs in chapter 46. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mr. Price wears a tailcoat 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.
