    Description

    Illustrated, Leather Binding

    A complete five volume set of the novels of Jane Austen, consisting of: the 1901 editions of 'Emma' and 'Sense and Sensibility'; the 1902 edition of 'Northanger Abbey' and 'Persuasion', bound together, and the 1903 editions of 'Mansfield Park' and 'Pride and Prejudice'. 

    Each volume is illustrated throughout by Hugh Thomson, best known for his pen-and-ink illustrations of works by authors including Austen, Charles Dickens and J. M. Barrie. Thomson inaugurated the 'Cranford School' of illustration with the publication of his 1891 Macmillan edition of Elizabeth Gaskell's 'Cranford'.

    Initially published in this edition between 1895 and 1897, present here are later impressions of Thomson's editions of Austen's novels.
