In this image Mr. Knightley tells Emma that he loves her. She was out on a walk in the gardens of Hartfield. She was upset because after finding out that Harriet loved Mr. Knightley, she came to the realization that she herself loved him. Mr. Knightley confesses that he had loved her for a long time and was jealous of Frank Churchill because he thought that Emma loved him. Emma responded that her love for Frank Churchill was not real, and that she had always loved him. This scene occurs in chapter 49. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Emma wears a regency style dress with an empire waist and a bonnet. Mr. Knightley wears a tailcoat and an overcoat with a cravat.

The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.

This illustration depicts Verginia being cast out of a temple dedicated to Patricia Pudicitia due to being married to a plebeian man. She is illustrated being physically pushed out by someone who is standing behind her with their hands on her back.

In response to being kicked out of the temple, Verginia created her own temple for plebeian women, consecrated to Plebeia Pudicitia. She is depicted in the background of the image in front of the small altar of her new site.

Here we see a scientist from the Grand Academy on Balnibarbi who was working to use spider’s webs to make clothing. Gulliver walks into his studio that is covered in cobwebs, and the scientist tells Gulliver not to disturb them. The scientist was attempting to domesticate spiders and use their webs in a similar manner to silkworms. He even went as far as to attempt to alter the spider’s webs through feeding them certain foods so that the webs they spun were colourful. In this image we see the scientist’s laboratory, whose walls are covered in cobwebs. On the table we see an apparatus used to wrap the webs into thread. The scientist wears a robe with images of insects on it. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

Miss Crawford and her brother, Henry Crawford, quickly became close friends with the Sir Thomas’ children, Thomas, Edmund, Maria, and Julia, and their cousin, Fanny. Miss Crawford had her harp brought from her home in Northamptonshire. Playing music was seen as a noble pastime for upper class women in this era, and women were expected to be skilled in some form of artistic endeavor, typically either music or drawing. In this image, Miss Crawford sits playing her harp with her music in a folder on a stand in front of her. Edmund sits next to Miss Crawford playing the harp, listening intently. Edmund fell in love with Miss Crawford and intended to marry her. This scene occurs in chapter 7 as noted underneath the title of this image.

An aerial view of an island is shown, identified as Ile de la Trinité by the author (today known as the island Trinidad, of Trinidad and Tobago). Near the ‘bottom’ of the island there are two groups of Indigenous people engaged in conflict. One group stands on land defending themselves with spears, bows and arrows and shields, while the other group attacks from a rowboat or canoe on the water, also with bows and arrows and spears. Two pairs of people fish from canoes in the bottom and top right corners. Across the island, another pair of individuals fish on the left side, two others spar together on the right, and others cook around a large pot in the middle. There are several structures scattered over the island. This image is identical to one found on page 961 verso of Paris, 1575 (l’Huillier).

This engraving depicts Theoxena, her husband Poris, and her nephews and child killing themselves. Theoxena and her husband, Poris, are depicted jumping from the ship head-first into the sea to drown themselves. They are illustrated holding each other as they die as a couple. Theoxena’s name, written as “Theosena”, is engraved at the bottom left-hand corner of the image to identify her. The figures on the ship are her nephews and her son, who are also killing themselves. Theoxena had given them a choice between stabbing themselves with knives, or to drink a poison. There are two boys who had stabbed themselves and one child is depicted drinking the poison from a cup. Boccaccio explains that Theoxena and her family killed themselves to avoid dying at the hands of king Philip of Macedon.
