  [Yahoos eating]

  Gulliver’s master explained various aspects of the Yahoos that lived in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. He explained that the Yahoos would eat anything, including herbs, berries, roots, and the flesh of other animals, seen here.

  I come to make my own apologies”

  Here we see Fanny speaking with Edmund and Miss Crawford. Miss Crawford had never ridden on horseback before, and Edmund offered to teach her. Fanny typically used Edmund’s horse to ride for her daily exercise after her grey pony died. Edmund was flirting with Miss Crawford and offered up his horse for Miss Crawford to use because it was very gentle. Miss Crawford used the horse for several days in a row, keeping Fanny from exercising. Fanny had a weak constitution, and not exercising took a toll on her health. Edmund, enthralled with Miss Crawford did not realize this until the end of a week when Fanny had not ridden, and apologized profusely. In this image, Fanny meets Edmund and Miss Crawford outside the stables, coming out to ride herself. This scene occurs in chapter 7 as noted underneath the title of this image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny and Mary Crawford wear a regency riding costume, called a riding habit. This outfit drew on the military trimmings. She wears an overskirt to protect her everyday skirt from the elements. Their hair is worn tied up, with a riding hat to protect her face from the sun. Miss Crawford wears a riding costume. Edmund wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, and tall riding boots. He also has 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.

  De coniuge Drigiagontis gallo greci

  This engraving depicts the queen of the Galatians standing on the right side of the image holding a decapitated head. This woman’s name is unknown; however, she is the wife of King Drigiagon (whose name is engraved above her head). After being taken as a captive by Roman enemies, the Galatian woman was defiled by a Roman centurion. This is depicted on the left side of the engraving as the queen is bound by a chain on her right hand while the centurion is putting his hand up her dress. She is illustrated looking away and fighting back as he forces himself onto her. To seek her vengeance, once she was freed through ransom, she ordered her servant to decapitate the man who raped her. The Galatian woman is holding the severed head as she presents it to her husband to prove that she was defiled by this man. Boccaccio explains that she wrote on this woman to highlight her daring and courageous nature.

  [Berenice Avenging her Sons’ Deaths]

  Berenice, the queen of Cappadocia, is illustrated on the right side of the image standing on a chariot which is being drawn by horses as she holds a lance in her right hand. She is wearing a crown and royal garb to signify her royal status. She is depicted plunging the lance into a man’s neck as he stands behind one of the horses with his arm in the air with a shocked expression on his face. There is a shepherd on the left side of the illustration watching the scene unfold. Boccaccio explains that her brother, Mithridates had her sons killed. Caeneus, a servant and the one who committed the crime is the person Berenice chased down and killed while in the chariot. However, this illustration depicts a man wearing a crown and royal clothing as the one Berenice is killing. The man in the illustration could possibly be her brother, Mithridates, however, Boccaccio explains that the one Berenice kills is in fact Caeneus.
