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.

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 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.

Two men were sailing together, one of whom was blind. One day, surprised by the night, they went to a meadow to rest and spend the night.

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. Verginia thought this was unjust as, despite being married to a plebeian, she was a noblewoman herself. 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.
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.

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.
Here we see Mary Crawford playing her harp at the parsonage near Mansfield Park. Miss Crawford arrived at the parsonage near Mansfield after her sister and her husband, Dr. And Mrs. Grant, moved in. 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. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mary Crawford wears the regency style dress with an empire waist. Her hair is worn tied up, as was tradition for women after their “coming out” before the queen, signaling her entrance into society. Edmund wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, and knickers that stop at the knee. 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.
Here we see a phrenology bust. The image appears at the beginning of the eighth chapter, in which Gulliver and his master discuss various aspects of the lives of the Yahoos on the Country of the Houyhnhnms, including exercise and education if their children. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
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).
There are three persons, gathered in a semi circle, peering at the mountains. There is a mouse to the left side of the people on the mountains. The persons have their arms up in assumed dismay or surprise. The persons all appear to be of the male gender.
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.
