Description
-
In this image we see Mr. Woodhouse speaking to Jane Fairfax. Mr. Woodhouse was telling Miss Fairfax that he was sorry she was out in the rain that day, and warned her about the risks to her health that could arise from getting caught in the rain. Overhearing this conversation, Mrs. Elton said that she would have her servant pick up Jane’s mail for her so Jane would not have to go herself. Jane said that she enjoyed picking up her own mail, but Mrs. Elton, being somewhat overbearing, insisted that her servant collected Jane’s mail against Jane’s wishes. This scene occurs in chapter 34. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Jane Fairfax wears the regency style dress with an empire waist. Her dress has short sleeves as was the style for women’s evening dresses. Mr. Woodhouse wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, with breeches and a cravat. 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.
