EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Good God! How came you up that staircase? 1907" takes us back to the enchanting world of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Created by Charles Edmund Brock in 1907, this print showcases a pivotal moment from Chapter 24 of the novel. In this scene, Catherine Morland explores Mrs. Tilney's bedroom with innocent curiosity. However, her tranquility is abruptly shattered when she encounters Henry Tilney unexpectedly emerging from a hidden staircase. The shock on Catherine's face is beautifully captured in this watercolor masterpiece. Brock's attention to detail and his ability to convey emotions through art are evident in every brushstroke. The Georgian setting comes alive as we witness the intricate architecture of the grand house and its opulent interiors. This parody of society norms and gothic horror elements adds depth to Austen's witty storytelling. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported into a world where literature intertwines with reality. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of Austen's works and their ability to captivate readers across generations. Displayed proudly in private collections for over a century, this edition was published by J. M. Dent & Sons in 1922 using sixteen out of twenty-four original plates created by Brock himself. A true treasure for any admirer of English literature or lover of fine art, it immortalizes an iconic moment from one of Jane Austen's most beloved novels – forever preserving its charm and intrigue for all
