  De minerva: siquier pallas

  This engraving illustrates Minerva, also known as Pallas, standing on the right side of the engraving suited in armor, holding a lance in her left hand and a shield (with a depiction of Medusa on the front) in her right. We know this is Minerva as the name Pallas is engraved directly beside her. This engraving represents the importance of Minerva and what she brought to the world. Boccaccio explains that Minerva had discovered wool work and weaving. There is a woman on the left-hand bottom corner of the engraving shearing a sheep to signify this discovery. The woman standing behind her has fabric in her hand to signify the art of weaving that Minerva had given to the world. The man in the centre of the engraving is depicted with a millstone in his hand, pressing down into a bucket of olives. Boccaccio explains that Minerva had taught the world of men to do this so that they can extract and use oil from the olives. An olive tree stands in the background to further the significance. There is an owl resting on a tree stump next to Minerva, which Boccaccio explains, represents her wisdom.

  [Act XV – Areusa Recoils from Centurio While Elicia Waits for Centurio to Depart]

  Elicia goes to Areusa’s house to inform her about the deaths of Celestina, Sempronio, and Pármeno. As she approaches the door, she overhears Areusa in a fit of rage.

  De Semiramide regina affiriorum

  This engraving illustrates Queen Semiramis of the Assyrians lying in bed while having sexual relations with her son, Ninyas. We know that these figures are indeed Semiramis and her son, as the creator engraved their names above the bed to identify them. There is a statue sitting on a platform on the right side of the engraving which appears to be a king. The statue is in fact Semiramis, who had a substantial military career and took part in many battles. The three almost naked women that are illustrated in front of the bed represent the women who Semiramis was afraid of. She was afraid that they would desire her son and take her away from him. Semiramis is said to have invented the chastity belt to avoid anyone having sexual relations with her son. The women are illustrated with undergarments on, which is suggested to be the chastity belts.

  [Sir William Lucas leaves Hunsford]

  In this image Sir William Lucas leaves Charlotte and Mr. Collins in Hunsford. Sir William went to visit his daughter and son-in-law after their marriage. He only stayed a week and after being convinced that Charlotte was settled comfortably, he returned to Meryton. This scene occurs in chapter 30. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Sir William and the driver wear waistcoats and tailcoats. 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.
