This engraving, titled "Opened a window-shutter, 1896" transports us back to the enchanting world of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Illustrated by Hugh Thomson in 1896, this print captures a pivotal moment from Chapter 43 of the timeless novel. In this scene, Elinor Dashwood anxiously awaits Colonel Brandon's arrival at Cleveland with her mother. However, upon hearing news of her sister Marianne's illness, Elinor finds it hard to believe that their guests have already arrived. Filled with anticipation and doubt, she decides to investigate for herself. The image portrays Elinor standing in an elegant dressing-closet as she opens a window-shutter to confirm the truth.
