Austen's Pride and Prejudice was originally published in 1813 by a man named Thomas Egerton. Its title page reads, "Pride and Prejudice: A Novel. In Three Volumes." The line "In Three Volumes" is in smaller font than the first few lines. Below that, there is a line and then the following words in a smaller font: "By the Author of 'Sense and Sensibility." There is then another line and the description "Vol. 1." This is then followed by a line and, below that, the printing information, which includes, "London: Printed for T. Egerton, Military Library, Whitehall. 1813." You can see a picture of the original title page at the Jane Austen Society link below.
To produce a facsimile of the title page of a book published in the eighteenth or nineteenth century, you could replicate this title page. Title pages, such as that for Pride and Prejudice, had a great deal of information, including their genre (such as a novel), the number of volumes they had, and any previous titles the author was known for. They also included the location of printing, the publisher, and the year.
