  [Scholars from Brobdingnag examine Gulliver]

  In this image we see Gulliver being examined by three scholars from Brobdingnag. The scholars were invited by the king to examine Gulliver’s ‘physical form’. They came to the conclusion that he did not conform to the ‘usual course of nature’, as he was significantly smaller than any other creature on Brobdingnag. They also questioned him regarding his diet and his education. There are three giants crowded around Gulliver who is standing on a table. They each wear elaborate hats and have beards. The giant on the left holds a magnifying glass to his left eye. His hat has what looks like a tree and an insect on top. The centre giant’s face is somewhat in shadow, and his hat has an image of a compass and a globe. The man on the right has depictions of scientific instruments on his hat. Gulliver is seated on a table that is elaborately carved and looks up at the giants. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  Von Virginea Lucii Volupini

  This engraving depicts the tragic fate of a young virgin woman from Rome named Verginia. Boccaccio explains that one of the decemvirs, Appius Claudius, fell madly in love with Verginia. Despite already being betrothed to another man, Appius Claudius devised a plan to have Verginia as his own. Appius Claudius had gotten one of his freedmen (Marcus Claudius) to capture Verginia and claim her as a slave. Verginia’s father, Verginius, went to the trial and protested the sentence of his daughter becoming a slave. Appius Claudius, however, was the judge presiding over the case, and officially decreed Verginia to be a slave. This court trial is depicted on the left side of the engraving, with Appius Claudius sitting on the chair pointing towards Verginia, Verginius, and Verginia’s betrothed, Icilius. After Claudius decrees Verginia to be enslaved, her father takes a knife and stabs her with it as his only way to save her. This is depicted on the right side of the engraving, which illustrates Verginius piercing his daughter’s chest.
