The Regency Colouring Book

Description

Discover the magic of Regency England as you colour in everything from the walls of the Prince Regent's Palace to the windswept flower beds of country gardens and carriage-lined city streets. Step into the romantic world of Regency England, from debutantes to dukes, from balls to duels, and a time when decadence ruled the day. The artist's intricate designs will uncover the trend-setters and taste-makers from the era, from John's Nash's architectural wonders, such as Brighton Pavilion, Buckingham Palace, Regent's Street and more, to the picturesque country life which inspired Jane Austen's unforgettable novels. Let your creativity flow as you embellish the elegant art, fashion, patterns, fabrics and furnishings which defined the period and wander through the pleasure gardens and promenades which entertained high society. With over sixty illustrations to bring to life in colour, alongside soundbites on the real-life inspirations, as well as excerpts from scandal sheets from the day, this is the ultimate colouring book - and celebration - of the Prince Regent and his infamous era.
