Did someone say . . . SALE?
Alert Janeite Julie F. wrote to tell us about Oxford University Press’ sale for the Oxford Illustrated Jane Austen, which includes her six major novels as well as her Juvenilia. The set also boasts 19th century illustrations (EDIT: not the C.E. Brock ones, see comments).
Julie F. also called our attention to the fact that this is a site-wide sale; we found some pretty good bargains while poking around - we suggest that our readers do the same!

IRRC, there are no Brock illustrations in the OUP editions, those included are drawings from JA’s period (I have Emma and the Minor Works from that collection). For example carriages, picturesque scenes, etc.

Thanks, Cinthia! I wasn’t sure myself, and I couldn’t find any more information on what kind of illustrations they were.
