One of my favorite blogs on the blogosphere is ::Surroundings:: by interior designer Linda Merrill. Linda, who is a fan of the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice, has been hard at work finding scrumptious pieces of furniture and objects d’art that would fit perfectly inside Netherfield Park, Longbourn, and Pemberley. Click on the following links to view her interior shots of these fabulous houses and some of the objects you can order today.

Monstrosities of 1818
Monstrosities of 1821
George Cruikshank (1792-1878), began his career as a caricaturist and illustrator, becoming a successful cartoonist and social satirist while still a young man. Working with both wood and steel engravings, he limned a remarkable number of illustrations in the style of Rowlandson and Gillray that portrayed the British way of life. He observed society with visual brushstrokes, whereas Jane Austen used pen, ink, and words.
In these two hand-colored etchings (there are more in the series), Cruikshank exaggerated the fashions of the time. According to one reference, the black poodle as shown in Monstrosities of 1821 is a symbol of dandyism. Jane would not have seen these prints, as she died in July of 1817, but her sister Cassandra might have. Cruikshank was enormously popular during his day and his prints were widely distributed.
