EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Introduced to Mrs Jennings, 1896" transports us back to the elegant world of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. The print, created by Hugh Thomson in 1896 and published in a later edition of the novel, captures a pivotal moment from Chapter 33. In this scene, John Dashwood bids farewell to his half-sisters Elinor and Marianne as they embark on an exciting journey with Mrs. Jennings. As they stand outside Sackville Street, Mr. Dashwood introduces himself to the esteemed Mrs. Jennings at her opulent carriage door. The image exudes sophistication and wealth with its depiction of a horse-drawn carriage adorned with intricate detailing. Two footmen flank the vehicle while elegantly dressed ladies occupy its interior. This illustration offers a glimpse into Regency-era society where social status was paramount. Thomson's meticulous attention to detail brings Austen's characters to life through their facial expressions and body language – capturing both excitement and trepidation as these young women venture into unknown territory under the watchful eye of their chaperone. This enchanting print not only showcases Thomson's artistic talent but also serves as a visual portal for readers to step into Austen's literary masterpiece.
