I was recently poking through the Art.com website, and I ran across this:


This framed print of an 1894 illustration featuring Mr. Collins proposing to Elizabeth Bennet (from Austen's Pride and Prejudice) costs $199.99. Now, I love me some Austen memorabilia, but the idea of spending two hundred dollars for this particular print makes me a little dizzy. Setting aside the price (which is very difficult for me to do), I can't imagine where I would put it--I like kitsch, but what room in my house is crying out to be graced by an image of Mr. Collins...?
