  De Manthone tyresie filia

  This engraving depicts Manto, the daughter of the famous seer Tiresias. She is depicted with her body leaning over a burning fire. We know this figure is Manto as the creator engraved her name beside her head to identify her. Boccaccio explains that Manto became an incredible seer just like her father. She uses the movement and colour of the fire’s flames to tell the future, which is why there is a fire in the engraving. She also used the entrails of animals such as sheep and oxen for signs of the future. There is an ox and a sheep illustrated in the engraving with their organs sticking out from their bodies. There are two distinct looking characters in the background of the engraving, which signifies Manto’s involvement in the dark arts in summoning spirits and gods from the underworld.

  Mr. Bertram, said she, with a smile

  In this image Miss Crawford looks out the door at Edmund after he visited her in London. He went to visit her after hearing about the scandal between Mr. Crawford and Mary. Miss Crawford only seemed to show regret that the two had been caught, rather than renounce their behaviour. She also said that the scandal was Fanny’s fault because she refused to marry Mr. Crawford and so he felt the need to be satisfied elsewhere and turned to Maria with whom he had been flirting while at Mansfield. This upset Edmund, believing it to show her true colours. As he left, she stopped him, calling his name, smiling at him, trying to subdue him in a manner ill suited to the conversation that had passed. This scene occurs in chapter 47. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Miss Crawford wears a regency style dress with an empire waistline Edmund wears a waistcoat, and tailcoat, with breeches. In his hand he holds a top hat and a walking cane. 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.

  [Act XV – Areusa and Elicia Standing Beside Centurio]

  Elicia (presumably the leftmost figure, seeing as veils indicate mourning dress) walks to Areusa’s house to tell her about the deaths of Celestina, Sempronio, and Pármeno. As she approaches, Elicia hears Areusa (central figure) wailing within and infers that she must have already heard the bad news. She then hears another voice and realizes that Areusa is arguing with someone (Centurio, rightmost figure). In a fit of rage, Areusa forces Centurio out of her house. Once he leaves, Elicia enters and informs Areusa of the tragedy. They blame the deaths on Calisto’s love for Melibea and set their sights on revenge. They resolve to seek the aid of Centurio in murdering Calisto.

  More humiliation

  Here we see Georgiana Darcy, Mr. Darcy’s sister, sitting at a table in their home, Pemberley. Georgiana looks embarrassed, as she was reminded of when she was going to marry Mr. Wickham. She believed she loved Wickham, but he only wanted to marry her to get to Mr. Darcy’s wealth. Wickham felt he was entitled to Darcy’s wealth, because he was godson to Mr. Darcy’s father, and was left some money in his will. After using all of his inheritance, he wanted to gain more of the family wealth. Caroline Bingley brought up Mr. Wickham to try and embarrass Elizabeth, but it backfired, embarrassing Georgiana instead. Caroline wanted to embarrass Elizabeth because she wanted to marry Mr. Darcy herself. This scene occurred in chapter 45, noted beneath the title of the image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, with Georgiana wearing the regency style dress with an empire waist. Her hair is worn tied up, as was tradition for women after their coming out before the queen, signaling her entrance into society. 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. The same image appears as an insert between pages 88 and 89 for the Dent 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896, and 1897 editions of Pride and Prejudice.
