Life in the Country: With Quotations by Jane Austen and Silhouettes by Her Nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh
This book is a presentation of Victorian era silhouette art created by Jane Austen's nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh. Not wishing to diminish the artist achievement in any way, but I did feel they were using Jane Austen's name to sell the book and it took away from the the silhouettes created by James Edward Austen-Leigh which were in themselves excellent. The scenes that he chose reflect the English countryside in allows you u the imagine elements of the Kent countryside amongst them which include hunting, fishing, harvesting, animals and people engaged in activities that would have encompassed their country lives. I greatly enjoyed the book but wished there was more detailed history on the art form. Which leads me to now explore other books...........
