"She then told him what Mr. Darcy had voluntarily done for Lydia. He heard her with astonishment" is an illustration from the novel "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, created by the artist George Pickering. The illustration, engraved by William Greatbach, who was born in 1802 and began his engraving career in 1833, captures a pivotal moment in Austen's classic work. The scene depicted is one where Elizabeth Bennet reveals to her uncle, Mr. Gardiner, the extent of Mr. Darcy's involvement in resolving the scandalous elopement of her younger sister, Lydia, with Mr. Wickham. This act of generosity and kindness by Mr. Darcy is a turning point in the novel, significantly affecting Elizabeth's feelings and leading to a transformation in her relationship with Mr. Darcy.

The illustration is a reflection of the Regency era's artistic style and social mores, providing visual context to Austen's text and contributing to the reader's understanding of the characters and their emotional dynamics. George Pickering's work is an example of the fine illustrations that accompanied many literary works in the 19th century, serving to enhance the reader's experience and bring the story to life. The collaboration between Pickering and Greatbach demonstrates the synergy between illustrator and engraver, a common practice in the production of illustrated books during this period.
