A stunning facsimile of the original 1894 Peacock edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, complete with illustrations, gilded edges, foil stamping, and a new foreword by rare books specialist Rebecca Romney

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

First published by George Allen in London, the iconic 1894 edition of Pride and Prejudice was a landmark publication, famous for its intricate foil stamping of a peacock, its feathers fully fanned out, on a striking blue-green cover. Including 160 black-and-white illustrations by Hugh Thompson, renowned in his day for his work with Elizabeth Gaskill and Charles Dickens, the edition became one of the most coveted among book collectors and fans of Jane Austen.

Now readers can enjoy the experience of the original volume through this gorgeous reproduction produced from a treasured first edition. In a new foreword, rare books dealer and Jane Austen expert Rebecca Romney introduces readers to the book's history and contextualizes this facsimile for the modern reader, making this a stunning literary gift for bibliophiles, Janeites, and fans of Regency and romance fiction.
