Bust of Jane Austen
Bust of Jane Austen made in British Gypsum Plaster.
This bust was created in association with the Jane Austen Center, Bath.
As with all Famous Faces there are objects around the base. For this bust we have included letters, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, Jane's Bath home on Gay Street and Norland Park.
The etch around the base reads
IT IS A TRUTH UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT A SINGLE MAN IN POSSESSION OF A GOOD FORTUNE MUST BE IN WANT OF A WIFE

These photos were taken at the Royal Crescent in Bath.
