This engraving, titled "At that moment she first perceived him, 1896" transports us back to the world of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. The print, created by Hugh Thomson in 1896 and now part of a private collection, beautifully captures a pivotal scene from Chapter 28 of the novel. In this enchanting image, we witness Elinor Dashwood at a lively party where she unexpectedly catches sight of John Willoughby. As her eyes meet his, an undeniable spark ignites within her. Thomson skillfully portrays Elinor's intense emotions through her glowing countenance filled with sudden delight. Eager to approach Willoughby instantly, Elinor is halted by the firm grip of her sister Marianne.
