In this image we see Mr. Dashwood with his grandson. The novel opens with Mr. Dashwood’s death, and his leaving his estate to his son, John Dashwood, and his grandson. There was a caveat that John Dashwood was supposed to support his half-sisters, Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret, and his stepmother. This was a system called primogeniture in which all of the inheritance would go to the eldest son. It was the most common form of inheritance at this period. Here we see Mr. Dashwood playing with his grandson, and his mother, Fanny, is visible in the reflection of the mirror. This scene occurs in chapter 1. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Mr. Dashwood and his grandson wear waistcoats and tailcoats with breeches and cravats. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.

In this scene Calisto appears very impatient and irritable. Soon after Celestina leaves his house (seen on the left side of the image), he tells Sempronio to pay her a visit and hasten her along in remedying his pain (his love for Melibea). Sempronio replies that he would rather keep Calisto company to distract him from Melibea. Calisto orders him to go and make Celestina suffer if she cannot make more progress, because his health depends on her. Later, Pármeno tries to convince his master that the deal will lead him to lose himself. He fails, however, and leaves Calisto to do as he pleases.Celestina is depicted in a robe and a veil. She is holding a pouch in her left hand, likely the 100 crows of gold given to her by Calisto. The three male figures are all wearing hats and cloaks. Pármeno appears to have an extremely long sword of some sort mounted on his belt, which is extending in front of Calisto's left leg.
Though some resented her for it as a woman, Artemisia was very smart when it came to her army.

Here we see Sir Walter Elliot speaking with his agent, Mr. Shepherd. Sir Walter was a widower who was spendthrift.

Sir Walter was initially resistant to the idea of leaving Kellynch but after some convincing by his agent and finding suitable tenants in Admiral and Mrs. Croft, Sir Walter agreed to let Kellynch estate and move to Bath. This scene occurs in chapter 1 as noted underneath the title of this image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, with Sir Walter and Mr. Shepherd wearing waistcoats and tailcoats. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
This chapter is dedicated to discussing the traditions and rituals of each month during the Inca Empire. The Incas tracked the months and years through the stars and their months consisted of thirty days. This image depicts the month of October, which was dedicated to making sacrifices to Runa Camac for rain for their crops. They would tie up llamas and starve them in order to make them weep. This is depicted on the left side of the image. The people would walk from hilltop to hilltop while weeping and crying and chanting to the god Runa Camac to provide them with rain. This is also depicted in the image as a crowd of people standing in front of the llama have tears running down their face.
