The so-called ‘Peacock Edition’ of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice was first published by George Allen in 1894 and illustrated by artist Hugh Thompson.

This copy has some board cracking and fading to the spine and is estimated at £300-500 in a sale of books, medals, militaria and collectables at Cotswold Auction Company on February 5 in Cheltenham.
