EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "I suppose you know, ma am, that Mr. Ferrars is married" transports us back to the elegant world of 19th century England. Created by Hugh Thomson in 1896 and based on Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story. The scene unfolds at a beautifully set dining table where Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters eagerly await news from their man-servant returning from Exeter. As he delivers his message with utmost decorum, the revelation of Mr. Ferrars' marriage sends shockwaves through the room. Marianne Dashwood's reaction is particularly striking as she gives a violent start and fixates her eyes upon her sister Elinor. The tension becomes palpable as Elinor turns pale while Marianne collapses into her chair overcome by hysterics. Thomson's meticulous attention to detail brings this literary masterpiece to life, capturing not only the characters' emotions but also the refined atmosphere of Georgian society. From the exquisite table setting to each character's expression, every element contributes to an immersive experience for viewers. This engraving serves as a testament to both Austen's enduring storytelling prowess and Thomson's artistic talent in bringing these beloved characters to visual fruition. It invites us into a world of manners, societal expectations, and emotional turmoil that still resonates with readers today.
