"For the book "Austentatious Crochet," it was important to showcase the modern, Jane Austen-inspired crochet projects, with a reference and nod to the fashion and images from the Regency-period. Bridgeman was my first choice and only art resource for the historical art needed to bring Jane Austen's world to life."
