With the exception of the Hubble Footer, and film photographs from Introduction 3A:— Fear and Loathing and the Filming of a beloved Novel, most Pictures in these Pride and Prejudice and Jane Austen webpages are from the Turner Bequest of the Tate Museum Collection Online.
This was far from my original intention, but Pictures, too, have a way of insinuating themselves into the mind, and the fact that Turner and Jane Austen were born in the same year, 1775, Turner in April and Austen in December, permits us surely to believe that the two shared many unspoken assumptions about the world in which they lived? It is also fact that both Turner and Austen found inspiration in contemporary English mansions, Turner for example at Petworth, Farnley, East Cowes Castle, Fonthill Abbey; Austen among others at the imaginery sites of Pemberley, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey.
It has beome trite to point out that we live in a techologically marvellous age, but how better to describe our ability to access links to all the Turner Prints and Drawings found on these webpages and infinitely more besides? Of course a photographic representation can never compare to seeing an original work of art, but circumstance will prevent most of us ever visiting Britain, and it isn't entirely sour grapes to reflect that those fragile works remain safe in their controlled environments free from contamination by light and handling and even our breathing.

Matthew Brennan argues in his article “Turnerian Topography: The Paintings of Roderick Usher” that Roderick Usher’s paintings are most aptly paralleled by the paintings of JMW Turner. Turner, like the paintings the narrator describes in the story, emphasizes his use of light and color to depict the image, rather than making the image more concrete
Detail, Painting, JMW Turner
The above citation is from an
intellectually stimulating, and visually beautiful website
devoted to this particular Turner painting, and to a 1990 Essay
by Matthew Brennan concerning Roderick Usher, the painter
described by the narrator in Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall
of the House of Usher. I've used the painting, and in
particular the arresting Detail image shown at left from
the said website
to add impact to my final Foundation level Pride and Prejudice
webpage.
[Note that I have verified that the Great House referred to
in the title of the painting is indeed 'The Drawing Room at East Cowes Castle']
