A group of Indigenous Canadians attacks the village of another group. The attackers arrive by canoe, bearing spears, bows and arrows, and torches. Some of them set fires along the shore and in the village. A few individuals on the right flee the fire by running and crawling away in an attempt to avoid the smoke. This image is identical to one found on page 1012 of Paris, 1575 (Chaudière), and in Thevet’s Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique (page 156 of Paris, 1557 and page 156 of Paris, 1558).
Verginia, a noble Roman woman is depicted in this engraving in both the right-hand and left-hand scenes. Boccaccio explains that Verginia, despite being a noble woman, was cast out of a temple in Rome by the other noble patrician women due to her being married to a plebeian man. The left side of the engraving depicts Verginia at the altar with noble women surrounding her as they cast her out of the temple. The right side of the engraving looks similar to the left side; however, the right side depicts Verginia with plebeian women. After being cast out of the Patricia Pudicitia temple, Verginia created her own temple and altar named it the Plebeia Pudicitia, and opened it up to the plebeian class.
Here we see shellfish including oysters and limpets on the shore of New Holland, where Gulliver landed after leaving the Country of the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver ate them raw, as he did not dare make a fire because he was unarmed and afraid that the peoples of New Holland might find and hurt him. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
This image depicts the second Inca, Cinche Roca. He is depicted wearing a traditional feathered head visor, a long cloak, and his shirt has three embroidered stripes in the centre. He is holding a mantle in his right hand and a shield in his left. The words conquisto hasta hatun colla ariquipa are written in the bottom left corner of the image, which translates to he conquered up to Hatun Colla, Arequipa. The author mentions that Cinche Roca had killed the first legitimate Inca, Tocay Capac-Pinau, and governed the city of Cusco. The author claims that Cinche Roca died when he was 155 years old.

During his time on Balnibarbi, Gulliver visited the Grand Academy of Lagado and the scholars who worked there. Here we see a scholar who was developing an alternate system of communication to talking. His theory was that speaking corroded people’s lungs, and that an alternate system could protect the lungs and prolong people’s lives.
In this image, there is a man walking through a field holding a donkey, who is tied with a rope. On the other hand he is holding a wooden stick and a little girl is also holding it.

The young girl, Glumdalclitch, stands behind the stage, leaning over the back to give Gulliver his directions. There are several other giants watching Gulliver in awe, including a baby who is reaching out to Gulliver in the foreground. The scene takes place in the farmer’s living room, with a portrait of a man above the heads of the giants, and a large window looks out onto mountains. A small dog runs under the bench. The same image appears in the 1761 German edition, however the 1761 German edition is coloured.
In this image Edward Ferrars and Elinor walk through the grounds of Delaford, Colonel Brandon’s estate. Edward Ferrars began working as the parish priest in Delaford, after Colonel Brandon offered him the post. Edward praises Colonel Brandon and his property, remarking that he would be happy to call Colonel Brandon his brother, implying he wished to see Marianne marry Colonel Brandon. This scene occurs in chapter 50. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Elinor wears a regency dress and carries a parasol to protect her from the sun. Edward Ferrars wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, with a top hat. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
Five Indigenous men are shown. They are in the process of burying arrows, tip down in the ground with the shaft and fletching showing, around the outside of a village.
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. This image depicts a creole woman (the author is referring to a Peruvian-born Spaniard) abusing an indigenous woman. The author criticizes creole, mulatto and mestizo women by calling them lazy, lying, and deceptive, and that they are enemies to the poor indigenous women. The creole woman in the image is holding the hair of a native woman and appears to be holding an axe of sorts to cut the woman’s hair. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, en los pueblos [in the pueblos].
Isis is onboard the ship that will take her to Egypt, wearing a blue robe. She has two horns, and the symbolic white cow is pictured on the flag of the ship. The cow symbolism represents when Isis was raped by Jupiter and transformed into a cow before being sent away to hide the bad deed.
In this image we see a group of rabbits running. The image represents children who have been reprimanded, who then become too shy to answer again for fear of being incorrect. This serves as a detriment to children’s learning and is thus forbidden in Lilliput. The rabbits represent children who have been punished and then run away for fear of being punished again. This image appears in the appendix to Gulliver’s travels in Lilliput. In the appendix, Gulliver discusses various aspects of life on Lilliput, including education, employment, approaches to science and philosophy, language, and interactions between people in the community. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
