Here we see Gulliver making himself new shoes after his worn out during his time on the Country of the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver made his shoes out of wood and leather. The leather was made of the skins of yahoos and dried in the sun, seen behind Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
This image depicts the first encounter Calisto (figure to the left) has with Melibea (figure to the right). While practicing his falconry, Calisto follows his bird (top-left corner) into Melibea’s garden, where he first lays eyes upon her. He is struck by her beauty and instantly falls in love. In addition to these figures, there is a horse behind Melibea.[The entire illustration is identical to the one found on page 18 of the text.]
Spanish colonists punish Indigenous men for engaging in sex with other men. Several Indigenous men on the ground try to fend off hunting dogs which have been unleashed on them. The dogs bite at the surviving men; several men have already been dismembered and killed by the dogs. A group of Spaniards stand nearby, watching the vicious attack. The men are finely dressed, and carry muskets, swords, spears, and a flag or banner. In the background, at least two dwellings are visible.
This chapter discusses the system of administrative officials in the Inca Empire. This image depicts Condor Chaua, the royal accountant, treasurer and quipu interpreter of the Inca Empire. This official was tasked with counting and tracking the number of citizens in the empire, as well as keeping track of food. They would use devices such as counting boards and quipus to keep track. Condor Chaua is depicted standing in the centre of the image holding a quipu with both of his hands with an Inca counting board at the bottom left corner beside his feet. The caption at the bottom of the image reads “contador y tezorero” [accountant and treasurer].
Gulliver spent much of his time on Brobdingnag reading about history and philosophy in the royal library. In this image we see him turning the page of one of the books, all of which were much larger than he was. In order to read these books Gulliver had to climb a ladder to be able to see the writing better.
A man kneels, resting his elbows on the rear end of a cart, hands clasped. In the cart there are several sacks. The cart has two wheels and seems to be pulled by horses which can be seen in the background. The wheels appear to be stucks in the ground. From the clouds in the sky, a shirtless Hercules with long hair points at the man kneeling next to the cart.
This illumination depicts Arachne holding a shuttle in her left hand as she sits at a loom and weaves. Arachne was a famous weaver who competed against the goddess Minerva in a weaving competition. When she lost the competition, Arachne hung herself.
Jones, a reader of the story, is seated in an armchair with his legs crossed and feet on an open-backed chair. He is holding his copy of the serial in his right hand and holding a pencil to underline a phrase in it with his left. In the background is a table or cabinet upon which some objects are set.
The chosen queen is carried on a litter by four men. Her body is decorated with paint or tattoos, and she wears strands of beads around her neck, arms and legs. Several men in front of the procession play large instruments, and a man walks on either side of the litter each waving a fan beside the queen. Behind the procession several women and men, the women carrying baskets and the men spears.
A group of four hares hop around in a grassy, wooded area, near a bog. Frogs jump around near the bottom of the image. Three of the hares are jumping towards the bushes while one is facing outward.

The four soldiers that are most visible are wearing helmets and they are carrying swords and shields. The one on the far left is wearing chainmail and the one next to him is wearing a tunic with chainmail under. The one on the far right is wearing a tunic with chainmail under, and the one next to him is wearing chainmail only. There are horses and other soldiers distinguishable in the background. In front of the soldiers there is a shield and a spear with a flag on it. They are on the ground in front of them.
This illumination depicts Queen Joanna of Jerusalem and Sicily sitting on a throne with her subjects surrounding her. She is depicted wearing a crown to demonstrate her royal status. Her subjects appear to be handing her gifts. Boccaccio explains that Joanna was a praiseworthy subject to write on as she was an impressive and fierce ruler which was not common for women during her time.
A kite whos life was in mortal war with other birds, felt sick reduced to his last bit of life. So, he calls a Hen for help and explains his issue, and how he wants to pray to the gods for his health back. However the Hen refuses, saying she would rather pray for a good death, as her fury and that of her chicks depend on it entirely.
A bird (called “the kite”) flies near the ground gliding with its wings outstretched. Clutched in its left talon is a small frog that appears to be flailing to become free. Clutched in its right talon is a small mouse that also appear to be attempted to free itself. Both the frog and the mouse have very small projectiles or weapons in hand. Below them, the grassy fields and off in the distance a patch of tall trees behind a large body of water.
This image depicts an indigenous notary of a town council in Spanish colonial Peru. He is depicted sitting at a table writing a document. There is a container of ink with a feathered plum on the table as well as a rosary and a book. He is dressed in traditional clothing and is wearing a head piece that has three flowers in it. There is a bookshelf in the background that has many books stacked messily on the shelves. The author explains that even the smallest of towns should have a town notary. The document that the notary is writing in the image reads, “en el nombre de la santícima trinidad hago el testamento de don pedro” [in the name of the Holy Trinity, I draw up the last will and testament of Don Pedro]. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “en este rreyno” [in this kingdom].
Here we see a set of cups used by the Houyhnhnms. This image appears when Gulliver explains how the Houyhnhnms use the hollow part of their pastern and hoof on their forefeet similarly to hands. Gulliver says they use this part of their bodies to do things like thread needles, milk cows, reap oats, and operate tools, including cups. These cups are made of wood and clay and are baked in the sun. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
Four Bulls, which had entered into a very strict friendship, kept always near one another, and fed together. The Lion often saw them, and as often had a mind to make one of them his prey; but, though he could easily have subdued any of them singly, yet he was afraid to attack the whole alliance, as knowing they would have been too hard for him, and therefore contented. himself for the present, with keeping at a distance.
Three Indigenous men stand in the foreground beside a tall leafy tobacco plant. Two of the men hold tobacco leaves rolled up, one is lighting the end of the roll of leaves and the other has already lit his and is smoking. The third man reaches for a leaf from the plant. Two of the men carry bows, and the one on the left wears a necklace, in the middle a cape, and to the right a round feathered adornment. In the background closer to the village, several structures of which can be seen, another man carrying a bow smokes from a rolled leaf. This image is identical to one on page 927 of Paris, 1575 (Chaudière).
This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts the Spaniards on the right side of the image and the indigenous people of Peru on the left side. The conquistadors Don Francisco Pizarro and Don Diego de Almagro are depicted kneeling as they embrace Huascar Inca, the ruler of the Inca Empire. They are doing this as a sign of peace and friendship. They are differentiated through their clothing as the Spaniards are wearing metal armor and carrying the flag of Castile, and the Peruvians are wearing traditional garbs with no armor. The caption written on the left side of the image reads “el excelenticimo senor don Martin Guaman Malqui de Ayala virrey y segunda person del ynga deste reyno principe” [the excellent lord Don Martin Guaman Malqui de Ayala, viceroy and second in command of the Inca in this kingdom]. The caption at the bottom of the image reads “se dieron pas el rrey enperador de castilla y el rrey de la tierra deste rreyno del piru uascar ynga, lexítimo en su lugar fue su segunda persona y su bizorrey ayala” [the sign of peace was exchanged between the king-emperor of Castile and the king of the land of this kingdom of Peru, Huascar Inca, in his place went his second-in-command and vicery, Ayala].
