There is an indigenous man on the right side of the image handing money to the notary. There is dialogue written by their mouths. The notary says, “paga” [pay me]. The indigenous man says, “caymi, cino” [here you have it, sir].

This image is a depiction of Gulliver interacting with the scientists and philosophers on Laputa. The object that the characters surround is an invention which the Laputans thought would reimagine their language. There are squares which would be turned by handles, which can be seen on the front side of the table. On each of the squares is a symbol representing a phrase in the Laputan language. The scientist stands in front of the table with his invention, explaining it to Gulliver who stands to the left side of the image. Students are surrounding the invention, listening to the scientist, waiting to operate it. A map of the island of Balnibarbi is on the wall behind the students. The same map, which shows how the island moves, is included in several other editions of Gulliver’s Travels. A picture above the map depicts a child playing with branches and a man on horseback. Underneath this internal image is the phrase “jüng gebogen, recht gezogen”. This image is the same as that in the 1762 German edition.

A bat in the air is above and slightly to the right of the hole. To the right in the background is two white birds flying above two animals on the ground. The rest of the background is covered in trees.

He travelled to Luggnagg to find a ship to take him to Japan, then back to England, however, upon his arrival there was not a ship ready, so Gulliver took a short trip to Glubbdubdrib.The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
Here we see Gulliver who has passed out at the feet of his master after hearing that he must leave the Country of the Houyhnhnms. The Council of the Houyhnhnms told his master that Gulliver either had to live with the yahoos or return to Europe but could not live with the Houyhnhnms any longer. Gulliver was shocked by this, and decided he had to leave rather than live with the yahoos. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
A maiden named Joan had disguised herself as a man in order to follow her lover to England while he attended school. Joan had excelled in academics and became incredibly knowledgeable while attending school. Continuing to dress as a man, Joan went to Rome and was elected to succeed as Pope, known as Pope John. No one had known she was a woman, however, she ended up having a love affair which resulted in pregnancy. This illumination depicts Joan, dressed as Pope John, standing in the centre of the image as she gives birth to a child. The child is depicted coming out from her stomach. The birth happened during a public procession which revealed her identity as a woman. There are people surrounding Joan who look shocked at what they are witnessing. According to Boccaccio, Pope John (Joan), was thrown into a dungeon to die as punishment for posing as a male while holding the title of Pope.
