It features COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS!!! by celebrated artist DOUGLAS GORSLINE . Jane Austen presents little physical description of the characters and their surroundings in Pride & Prejudice. This gave illustrators a great opportunity to create their own interpretation. Therefore, soon after the writer's death, illustrated editions of her work were published. At first, the limited printing techniques of the time and the high cost of publishing artwork made the inclusion of illustrations limited to one or two, usually just a frontispiece. The early attempts misrepresented the world Austen created by portraying the Victorian age, instead of the Georgian era. It wasn't until the 1890s that this changed. Technology and art converged for two decades to offer handsome editions of the Jane Austen novels. These editions were lavishly illustrated and presented with a luxurious binding. These characteristics have made them highly valued and sought after by collectors. ABOUT THE ARTIST Douglas W. Gorsline (1913–1985) was an American painter and writer. He started out as a painter of social realism, though his more mature style was influenced by cubism, surrealism, and photographers of movement such as Étienne-Jules Marey and Edweard Muybridge. He worked in many media, including lithography, painting, and etching. He was an illustrator as well as a painter, and wrote and illustrated several children's books, an illustrated history of costume, as well as an edition of Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel, and his own novel, Farm Boy. Gorsline's technique and sources derive from certain elements of cubism and realism. He often uses cubist composition as a means of approaching the real. Marcel Duchamp had a strong effect on him because he joined the idea of movement to the concepts of cubism — as in the Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2. It is of note that both Gorsline and Duchamp were inspired by the chronophotography of Étienne-Jules Marey who in order to fulfill his scientific pursuits invented cameras and methods to decompose movement. While other schools of art seemed to concentrate on playing with reality in displaced or symbolic ways, Gorsline sought a solution that allowed his subjects their true actuality, their true features — all the more true in that they are seen in a state of movement. Technical and emotional values are joined in each canvas. Meanwhile one can see the expression of a sequential simultaneity, a succession of realities, which coexist, in our lives and in the world at large.

Handsome men in cravat and coat, ladies in soft cottons and flowing silks, grand balls and elegant homes.

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist and romance writer at the end of the 18th century, focusing mainly on British Aristocracy, classes of social standing and the etiquette they are held to based on their wealth and economy of the time.
