C.E. Brock illustrations of Sense and Sensibility available at Molland’s

Filed under: Images, Online — Mags @ 7:45 am

Willoughby and Marianne 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!

It’s all about the, um, Janes

austen_currency.JPGAlert Janeite Laurel Ann sent us a link to an eBay auction for a banknote bearing Jane Austen’s image. Click on the thumbnail at left to see it in full size. Check out the watermark on the back, and the image of Winchester Cathedral!

Laurel Ann tells us the banknote is from Greece and was issued in 2004.

Does anyone else find it comically ironic to have an image of Jane Austen on currency?
