EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "AUSTEN: EMMA, 1896. He stopped to look the question" takes us back in time to the enchanting world of Jane Austen's Emma. Illustrated by Hugh Thomson for an 1896 edition of this timeless novel, first published in 1815, it beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the story. In this scene, we witness a couple engaged in courtship as they take a leisurely walk through the English countryside. The man, dressed impeccably in an elegant top hat and regency attire, is none other than George Knightley – a nobleman who becomes Emma Woodhouse's love interest. His gaze is fixed on his companion with an expression that reveals both curiosity and affection. The woman he gazes upon is Emma herself, portrayed here wearing a stunning empire dress and draped with an exquisite shawl. Her fashion choices reflect the early 19th-century English style prevalent during Austen's era. Thomson's illustration skillfully captures not only the characters' physical appearance but also their emotional connection. Through subtle details like body language and facial expressions, he brings Austen's words to life on paper. This print serves as a delightful homage to one of literature's most beloved novels while showcasing the artistic talent of Hugh Thomson. It invites us to immerse ourselves in Austen's world once again and appreciate her enduring legacy as one of history’s greatest storytellers.
