Northanger Abbey and Persuasion ... With illustrations by Hugh Thomson and an introduction by Austin Dobson
An 1897 Macmillan edition of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, illustrated by Hugh Thomson with an introduction by Austin Dobson, aimed at late-Victorian readers buying Austen as a gift set. Thomson's captioned pen-and-ink plates stage Regency figures in empire-line gowns, tailcoats and top hats against sparse interiors, giving designers line-drawn costume figures, drawing-room furniture and paired-conversation groupings.
