Pride and Prejudice

 * Reason:A lovely early engraving for Pride and Prejudice, a novel that probably needs little introduction. Jane Austen is particularly poorly illustrated on Wikipedia, so I was delighted to find this.


 * For the record, this is one of two engravings in this edition. Collectively, they are the first illustrations of the characters of Pride and Prejudice. I messed up the scan of the other one - it's teeny-tiny - so I'll have to go back to the library in a couple days.


 * The original scan is here.


 * Articles this image appears in:Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet
 * Creator:William Greatbatch and George Pickering
