The lovers Calisto and Melibea embrace in her garden. There is another woman in the background and to the left, but it is difficult to identify who she is (likely Melibea's servant Lucrecia). Shortly after their embrace, Calisto hears Sosia yelling on the other side of the wall and ascends the ladder to see the cause of the commotion. As he descends the ladder on the other side of the wall, he falls and dies.

This illustration depicts Pope Leo III sitting on his pontifical throne. He is illustrated wearing the papal tiara and a long staff that has three horizontal bars at the top, which symbolizes pontifical power.

When Cephalus was told that his wife (Procris) would abandon him in exchange for money and treasures, Cephalus began testing his wife. Cephalus would disguise himself and offer her gold and treasures in exchange for her love. This is depicted in the foreground of the image, with Cephalus kneeling and presenting treasures to Procris. Procris rejected the disguised Cephalus multiple times, however, she eventually accepted his offers. Procris regretted what she had done to her husband. To punish herself, Procris went to live in the woods. Cephalus had been hunting one day and had mistaken his wife for an animal and shot her. Cephalus is illustrated in the background of the illustration holding a bow in his hands. Procris is on the right side of the image with an arrow protruding from her chest after being mistakenly shot by Cephalus.

Here we see Gulliver speaking with Pedro de Mendez, the captain of the ship that found Gulliver in New Holland. Pedro de Mendez asked Gulliver to explain his situation, however Gulliver remained quiet, wanting to return to his boat and get away from other people. Pedro de Mendez gave Gulliver food and a bed on the ship. Gulliver would not get undressed, and simply lay on top of the bed. Gulliver had planned to jump ship and swim back to his boat, however a crew member found out about his plan, and Gulliver was chained in the cabin. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
This image is a depiction of a Yahoo and a Houyhnhnm (horse). The Yahoo is a form of human who lives in the Country of the Houyhnhnms and serve as a foil to the Houyhnhnms who are the epitome of virtue. 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, as the Fourth part of the story serves as a commentary on the socio-political atmosphere of the eighteenth century. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
Here Gulliver shows the captain of the ship some of the things that he brought from Brobdingnag. In his hand, Gulliver holds a ring worn on the pinky finger of the queen of Brobdingnag. On the table are the comb made from the beard hair of the king of Brobdingnag, and stingers from the wasps on Brobdingnag. Gulliver tries to give the ring to the captain as thanks however the captain rejects him, asking instead for a tooth from one of Glumdalclitch’s servants. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

Here we see Mrs. Ferrars lying on the ground, held by her daughter, Fanny. Fanny and John Dashwood enjoyed Anne and Lucy Steele’s company, and invited them to stay for a few weeks with them in London. One day Anne announced that Lucy and Edward Ferrars were engaged. This shocked everyone, and Mrs. Ferrars fainted. Fanny became hysterical and told Lucy and Anne Steele that they had to leave immediately. Lucy Steele was not wealthy, and Mrs. Ferrars wanted Edward to marry a wealthy heiress, Miss Morton. After hearing the news, Mrs. Ferrars disowned Edward after he refused to break off the engagement. This scene appears in chapter 37 as indicated underneath the image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, with Mrs. Ferrars, Fanny, and Lucy wearing the regency style dress with an empire waist. Their hair is worn tied up, as was tradition for women after their “coming out” before the queen, signaling her entrance into society. Edward wears a waistcoat and tailcoat. 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.
Gulliver’s master explained various aspects of the Yahoos that lived in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. He explained that the Yahoos had one who was the ruler. This ruler had a servant whose job it was to lick the feet of the ruler, seen here, and to bring female yahoos to him. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

They hunt in groups of two or three, with one member of each group using a bow and arrow and the other(s) wielding spears. All of the individuals wear furry tunics belted at the waist, caps, tall boots and snowshoes on their feet. This image is identical to one found on page 1011 of Paris, 1575 (l’Huillier).
This engraving depicts a story of a young Roman woman who saved her mother from starving to death. Boccaccio explains that this unknown woman’s mother had been sentenced to death, and when she was locked away to die of starvation, her daughter saved her with her own breast milk. The girl and her mother are depicted behind the window of the jail cell as the mother drinks the milk of her daughter’s breast. The word “romana” is engraved below the jail cell window. The men that are standing guard outside the prison cell seem unconcerned and relaxed. They are unsuspecting of the young woman because they searched her every time she visited her mother and she never seemed to carried food with her. The young woman saved her mother’s life through her breast milk, and Boccaccio explains that he wrote on this unknown young woman due to her filial devotion.
