The magazine divides Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice into its original three volumes. Each cover features a reimagined version of the original bookplate, underlaid with an .ai-generated cover image. The visuals needed to be beautiful but also meet two key requirements:

Historical Personalities
Each cover aligns with figures from the period whose lives resonate with Austen’s world. We selected individuals whose stories Jane Austen would have known or whose experiences might have reached her ears. Princess Charlotte famously lived her romantic life in the public eye. Her father favoured a marriage to an unacceptable European prince, while Charlotte herself preferred Prince William Frederick, Duke of Gloucester. After considerable tension, she eventually married Prince Leopold. You can read more about these events through the links below.

Princess Charlotte was known to be a fan of Jane Austen. She had read Sense and Sensibility and identified deeply with Marianne, a fact Austen was almost certainly aware of. Coincidentally, they died just four months apart: Jane at 41, Charlotte at 21.
