Event Description

By Sarah Jane Downing

Taking the span of Jane Austen’s life (1775 – 1817), Sarah Jane Downing, author of Beauty and Cosmetics in the Time of Jane Austen and Beauty and Cosmetics 1550 – 1950 will explore the trends and changes in philosophy, literature, and art that transformed the concept of beauty from the pretty, powdered, porcelain doll of the Georgian court to the healthy, fresh complexion of Elizabeth Bennet. Sarah will also be bringing along some of her personal collection of fashion plates for viewing.
