Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice
Embedded Files
One of my first layouts done through Affinity. I wanted it to feel elegant but not overwrought, be black and white for ease of printing, and include the illustrations from 1894.
Public Domain artwork for this project was taken either from the 1894 edition, or from Pixabay (before I discovered the treasure trove that is the Internet Archive). Verified AI-free.
