Milestone Monday

On this day, October 30, 1811, Jane Austen’s (1775-1817) Sense and Sensibility was published anonymously as written “by a Lady.” Austen's brother negotiated the printing with publisher Thomas Egerton who agreed to publish the book on commission at Austen’s financial risk. With presumed great relief, Sense and Sensibility received favorable reviews and the first printing of 750 copies sold out in 1813. A second printing was run later that year, and the novel has been in continuous publication ever since.  

In honor of Sense and Sensibility’s publication anniversary, we’re looking at both of the Special Collections copies! The first was published in 1856 by Richard Bentley (1794-1871). Bently purchased the copyrights to Austen’s work after her death and began publishing her novels as part of his Standard Novel Series in 1833. He hired illustrator Ferdinand Pickering (c. 1811-1882) to create an engraved frontispiece as illustration for each novel. This was the first time Austen’s work was released in collected editions and the first time her novels were illustrated.  

Sense and Sensibility has since been illustrated many times over, shedding a contemporary light on Austen’s characters, including our second holding published by the Limited Editions Club. Limited Editions Club printed 1,500 copies of Sense and Sensibility in 1957 for its members. It includes a contemporary introduction by novelist Stella Gibbons and distinct pen and ink illustrations by Caldecott Medal honoree Helen Sewell. The edition was designed by Joseph Blumenthal and printed by him at the Spiral Press in New York. Our copy is from the collection of long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

White Rabbit takes Grizzly and Gibbon as hostages and demands for the mayor and the whole city to pay for ransom. Mind you, White Rabbit is rich but she is doing this because she is a bored rich girl who is more interested in being a supervillain and she's doing it for thrills. However, both the mayor and the people of New York laugh off at the demands from White Rabbit. Peter Parker decides to rescue Grizzly and Gibbon even though he had his Spider-Man identity outed at that time.

Later, as the time went up, White Rabbit tries to kill Grizzly and Gibbon when Peter Parker swings in as the Bombastic Bag-Man. The Bombastic Bag-Man fought off White Rabbit's goons. The two remaining White Rabbit's goons surrendered because they are just hired washed-up actors who reluctantly worked for White Rabbit and they knew that she's crazy but they are afraid of her. White Rabbit enters into the room with her Mecha-Bunny and knocks out the Bombastic Bag-Man. Fortunately, the hostages - Grizzly and Gibbon freed themselves and defeated White Rabbit. Peter Parker as the Bombastic Bag-Man is glad that Grizzly and Gibbon are okay.

Had either of them had the luck to be, quite truly, what they seemed to be, perhaps they would have made a better marriage. In which unexpected difficulties arise in the marriage of Miss Jane Gibbons and Major Richard Sharpe.
