Here Gulliver is caught by a monkey who belonged to a clerk of the kitchen in the court of Brobdingnag. Gulliver was left in his box while Glumdalclitch went out and left the windows open. The monkey got loose and found Gulliver’s box and reached in the window and picked up Gulliver. The monkey held Gulliver as though he were a baby about to suckle and Gulliver pulls away from it, which is seen in this image. The monkey was startled by a noise and climbed out the window, taking Gulliver with him. Rocks were thrown to try and get the monkey down, however someone had to go up to the roof to get the monkey down with Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
At the top of the image there is an eagle flying while dangling a tortoise. At the bottom of the image we see the tortoise with its shell split being eaten by the eagle on the ground.
A group of Indigenous people in Nicaragua participate in festivities. Many dance and leap across the ground together. Several people on the left play musical instruments, including drums, a horn, and tambourines or rattles. Most individuals are nude, with some wearing loincloths, feathered skirts, or feathered headdresses. One man holds a fan of feathers in the air as he dances. This image is identical to one found on page 159 of Frankfurt, 1595, but colored.
A frog makes a proclamation to all the animals that he was a physician and able to heal all diseases. A fox asked him: How can you pretend to be able to heal others, when you are unable to heal your own lame gait and wrinkled skin? this is a caution against hypocrisy.
Mr. Rivers was planning on going to India as a missionary the year after Jane arrived at Moor House. He asked Jane to come with him and marry him. Jane said she would go with him to India, but she refused to marry him. When she initially rejected him, he went and laid down in the grass near Jane, waiting for her to change her mind. He asked Jane several times, but she rejected him every time. When she returned to Mr. Rochester, Mr. Rivers left for India and died there. Jane and Mr. Rivers continued their correspondence until his death.
Faustina Augusta, the wife of Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, is depicted sitting on the left side of the image wearing a crown as she looks down to three kneeling women. Faustina was highly regarded by the people of Rome, including her husband, who had her deified when she died. After she was deified, her female followers and priestesses were known as “Faustinians.” This image depicts three women kneeling to Faustina to demonstrate her significance to the people of Rome and to women.
After being stranded on Brobdingnag, Gulliver runs through the wheat field where the giant farmer is working. Not wanting to be discovered, he dodges out of the way of the giant’s foot, fearing he would be stepped on.
In the middle of the image there is a dog sniffing the ground, with its tail up in the air. On both the left and right sides of the image there are many different trees, bushes, plants, and rocks.
Alvar Fanez reports back to King Alfonso that the Cid has defeated two kings who had been sent by the King of Valencia to fight him. He brings with him a portion of the Cid’s spoils, which the Cid instructed him to give to the king. Alfonso is pleased with the news and restores the property and safety of all the knights travelling with the Cid, but stops short of lifting the Cid’s banishment just yet.
Here we see the Grand Academy of Lagado in Balnibarbi. Here scholars gather to work on problems and innovate. Gulliver visits the academy and sees first-hand the experiment that the scholars are working on. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
After successfully convincing Melibea to forfeit her girdle cord, Celestina returns home. While Celestina is gone, Sempronio remains in her house to spend time with his beloved Elicia. Thus, Celestina returns home to find him waiting. She claims to have good news regarding Melibea, and they depart for Calisto’s house to inform him of what has transpired (they can be seen arriving to the right of the image). In the meantime, Calisto is kept company by Pármeno while he remains immersed in despondent sadness (to the left of the image). To the right, Celestina can be seen wearing a robe and a veil. At her side, Sempronio is depicted wearing a hat and a sword mounted on his belt. Calisto, the leftmost figure, is also depicted wearing a hat. His facial expression and body language express a deep sadness. Pármeno is wearing a hat as well, and it appears as though he is trying to convince Calisto to calm himself.The entire image is identical to the one found on page 29 of the text.

An Indigenous group from Newfoundland (as identified by the author) prepare to go to war. The group marches in a procession with large drums made from animal skins stretched over a wooden frame and bones as drumsticks. One man is carried on the shoulders of several others and holds a ceremonial weapon or other object. Most members of the group are barefoot and wear tunics, several have capes tied around their necks, and others wear headdresses of feathers or leaves. This image is identical to one found on page 1013 of Paris, 1575 (l’Huillier), and in Thevet’s Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique (page 164 of Paris, 1557 and page 164 of Paris, 1558).
An ornately decorated title page. Two figures playing musical instruments appear atop the pedestals on either side of the illustration. The male figure on the left is playing the panpipes (or syrinx), and his horns and goat’s legs indicate that this is possibly a representation of the Greek deity Pan. The figure on the right is female and also has the legs of a goat, but it is difficult to ascertain her identity from this illustration alone. Above these pedestals, we see two helmets and two shields, the latter of which bear the coats of arms of Lang (to whom the edition is dedicated) and Wirsung. In the centre of the image, we see the title of the work. It appears to be either framed by an opening, or placed upon an altar of some sort.
This image depicts one of the battles between King Sancho of Castile and his brothers. This one is likely from the battle against Alfonso of Leon, and it shows the Cid single-handedly rescuing Sancho from being captured by thirteen Leonese knights. Sancho is fighting his brothers because his father left them each portions of his kingdom when he died, and Sancho is trying to consolidate these portions all under his own rule. In the image, the Cid is holding a man by his neck and is about to strike him with his sword.
Hercules is depicted on the left side of the engraving holding his new wife Deianira in his arms as they attempt to cross the Evenus river. Hercules is illustrated with a wreath on his head and a bow and arrow by his legs. Deianira is illustrated wearing a crown while looking at her husband. A man named Nessus is depicted beside Deianira, holding his arm out to her as he offers to take her across the river on horseback. Boccaccio explains that Nessus was riding horseback, however, Nessus is known to be a centaur in Greek mythology. Boccaccio explains that Nessus betrayed Hercules’ trust and began to run away with Deianira after crossing the river. Hercules uses a poison infused arrow to shoot Nessus and rescue his wife. This is illustrated in the background on the right side of the engraving. Hercules’ bow is in hand, and his arrow is sticking out of Nessus’ chest.
Here we see Gulliver walking through the streets of Lisbon with Don Pedro. Gulliver had a difficult time readjusting to life in Europe as he was accustomed to the virtues of the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver hold a cloth with rue or tobacco to his nose so he cannot smell the city, which Gulliver could not stand. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
This is a bust of Voltaire, an influential philosopher writing at the same time as Swift. Voltaire promoted the translation of Gulliver’s Travels into other languages, first French, on the European Continent. The image is a part of Swift’s Biography which precedes Part One of Gulliver’s Travels. The purpose of this illustration in the biography is to provide context for the political atmosphere and insight into Swift’s satirical writings. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
The left panel depicts Elicia standing outside. She is wearing a robe and veil, with what appears to be a rosary hanging from her waist. In the right panel, we see Sosia pointing upward. He has a sword mounted on his belt.The entire image is nearly identical to the one found on page 105 (where the left panel is labeled ‘Celestina’ and the right is labeled ‘Pármeno’). The left panel is nearly identical to the panel found on the title page (where it is labeled 'Celestine' and has added colour), the one found at the end of the book (labeled 'Celestine'), and those found on pages 51, 82, 150, and 162 (labeled ‘Celestine’). The right panel is nearly identical to those found on pages 43 and 135 (where it is labeled ‘Pármeno’), and identical to those found on pages 190 and 235.
