October wallpaper

by HML

The October wallpaper is available for download from Solitary Elegance.  This month it’s all about Jane Austen’s Emma:  for those of you in the UK lucky enough to watch the new BBC miniseries beginning this weekend and for the rest of us who have to wait for Masterpiece and other networks to pick it up (much) later, here’s a little something to get you in the mood.

Miss Woodhouse stands on the left in an 1809 ball dress while Miss Fairfax, elegant as always in an 1813 evening dress, is seated on the right.  This month’s background is a piece of sheet music from one of Ackermann’s sister fashion journals, La Belle Assemblée.  While Miss Woodhouse is sure to appreciate the title and tune, Miss Fairfax is probably looking over the music for “Robin Adair”, a favorite for reasons best known to herself.  Enjoy!
