Though
Pride and Prejudice was initially
published in 1813, this edition—from 1894, with illustrations by Hugh

cover isn’t the only noteworthy addition to the work, however. Thomson also filled the pages with beautiful
illustrations, ranging from classic chapter caps and full-page engravings to
subtle nods like inhabited initials.
