Description: In this image we see Gulliver kissing the little finger of the queen of Brobdingnag. The queen wears rings on her ring and pinky finger of her left hand. Gulliver stands on the edge of a table, leaning forward to kiss her finger. This takes place after the King and Queen of Brobdingnag purchase Gulliver from the Farmer who found him, and Glumdalclitch accompanied him to the royal palace. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
