Pride and Prejudice (445577)

[html]От издателя:Jane Austen’s best-loved novel is a memorable story about the inaccuracy of first impressions, about the power of reason, and above all, about the strange dynamics of human relationships and emotions. In this special colourized edition, Hugh Thomson’s delightful period illustrations, which were originally black-and-white, have been sensitively coloured by Barbara Frith, one of Britain’s most accomplished colourists. This beautiful edition is a fitting tribute in celebration of the book’s 200th anniversary.Hugh Thomson (1860-1920) is the finest exponent of period illustration in what is sometimes known as the ‘powder and patch’ school. He was in great demand and he was commissioned to illustrate Shakespeare, Sheridan, Goldsmith, Hawthorne, Elizabeth Gaskell and the popular plays of J. M. Barrie as well as Jane Austen’s six complete novels.[/html]
