ReplyDeleteMay I use this photo in a simple presentation that I have done to talk about Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice?
I will present again in 13th August to another group of people. I would like to add more information in my powerpoint.
Of course you can use it Escritos. I got it from Google images.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Tony
Lovely quotes! Do you think that the above portrait is authentic? If I remember right, it was made from Cassandra's painting for Edward Austen-Leigh's biography - he would have seen her alive and therefore not chosen a picture that wasn't like her...
