Illustrated Pride and Prejudice Companion

Hugh Thomson, one of the most prominent book illustrators of the Victorian era, is especially well-known for his sensitive renderings of scenes from the works of Jane Austen—particularly the classic 1894 edition of Pride and Prejudice, now published in a handsome hardcover by Dover. Comprised of 58 plates from that work individually coloured to complement the style and sensibility of Thomson's pen-and-ink drawings, The Illustrated Pride and Prejudice Companion is sure to occupy a special place on the bookshelf of anyone who enjoys reading Jane Austen, as well as the art of the book.
