C.E. Brock illustrations of Sense and Sensibility available at Molland’s
The C.E. Brock watercolor illustrations for Sense and Sensibility have been uploaded to Molland’s illustration archive. This addition completes our collection of Brock illustrations (we think), both from the 1898 and 1900s editions.
Thanks as always to the generosity of our donors, in this case Cinthia from JACastellano, the Spanish-language Jane Austen discussion list. We’ve added a few guidelines for using the images to the Molland’s F.A.Q.
We hope to be adding some new e-texts to Molland’s after some of the excitement dies down. Stay tuned!

Is there a still in print edition that contains these illustrations ?

Mr. W has a peculiar idea of how to transport young ladies: with his hand on the outside of her limbs: the posture must actually press her more closely to his bosom. If Mr. Brock is correct, then this explains a lot!

He’s a sneaky one, that Willoughby.
Sibylle: The Easton Press editions have some of the 1898 illustrations.

I agree! Willoughby is going to drop her! One doesn’t even carry sacks of potatoes so awkwardly, let alone a live, injured, pretty girl!
To God be all glory,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Mwah! They’re pretty good quality scans, too. C. E. Brock’s beautiful Austen illustrations should be printed in posters–somebody would make a killing out of that.
