Dent \u0026amp; Co. in 1898, as part of the novels of Jane Austen in 10 volumes. Sense and Sensibility was published in two volumes for this edition, each with a colour frontispiece and five further plates. For this later edition, Brock produced a new suite of plates, based on watercolour drawings. They are all signed by Brock and dated 1907 or 1908. An ordinary edition was issued in pale decorated cloth, and this deluxe edition in vellum, profusely blocked in gilt using the same floral design as the cloth; both versions are highly collectable, the vellum version is very uncommon.
