O desenho em face da folha de rosto encontra-se protegida por folha de papel vegetal.

Obra foi publicada pela primeira vez em 1813, por Thomas Egerton, em três volumes, a segunda edição no mesmo ano e terceira em 1817, após a morte do autor. Em 1833, Richard Bentley publicou a obra num único volume, na série Standard Novels, com um frontispício, mas ainda sem ilustrações integradas no texto. Em 1894, a George Allen publicou a edição com 160 ilustrações de Hugh Thomson, constituindo a primeira edição de Pride and Prejudice ilustrada de forma sistemática ao longo da narrativa. As páginas preliminares, em numeração romana, contêm justificação da tiragem, fac-simile da dedicatória de Hugh Thomson a J. Comyns Carr, prefácio de George Saintsbury e índice das ilustrações. Romance clássico de Jane Austen que retrata a sociedade inglesa do século XIX através do humor e da crítica social. A história foca-se na jovem Elizabeth Bennet e nas suas atribuladas dinâmicas familiares, sociais e amorosas. O ponto central da trama é a evolução da sua relação com o reservado Fitzwilliam Darcy, à medida que ambos superam os seus julgamentos iniciais. Jane Austen (Steventon, Hampshire, 1775 ? Winchester, Hampshire, 1817) foi uma escritora inglesa, conhecida pelos seus romances sobre a sociedade e os costumes da época. Desde jovem demonstrou interesse pela escrita e, em 1811, publicou anonimamente o seu primeiro romance, Sense and Sensibility. Escreveu obras célebres como Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park e Emma, destacando-se pela ironia, humor e pela crítica social. Morreu em Winchester, aos 41 anos, deixando um importante legado na literatura inglesa e sendo hoje considerada uma das suas grandes escritoras. Hugh Thomson (Coleraine, Irlanda, 1860 - Londres, 1920) foi um ilustrador irlandês, conhecido sobretudo pelas suas ilustrações. Trabalhou com autores como Jane Austen, Charles Dickens e J. M. Barrie, destacando-se pela atenção ao detalhe e pelo estilo delicado. Em 1891, as suas ilustrações de Cranford, de Elizabeth Gaskell, deram origem à chamada ?Cranford School? de ilustração.
