Pride and Prejudice in a Matchbox

Another miniature that fits in a matchbox—this tiny handmade matchbox contains Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, illustrated and much abridged. Most of the illustrations are by Hugh Thomson, from a version of Pride and Prejudice published in 1894. I’ve rearranged them, added bits of background scenery and wrote the abridged story.

The book is 1-3/8″ x 2″. The matchbox is 1-1/2″ x 2-1/8″. There are 9 spreads. See more here.
