  Here we see a group of Houyhnhnms in debate at the general assembly. At this assembly, representatives from the different regions of the Country debate issues facing the Houyhnhnms.

  After Calisto (the leftmost figure) is rejected by Melibea during his first encounter with her, he finds himself in a state of discontent and despondency. His servant Sempronio suggests that he should employ the aid of Celestina (the rightmost figure, wearing a robe and a veil), a matchmaker and brothel owner. Calisto sends Sempronio to fetch her (they can be seen arriving at Calisto’s house to the right of the image). While Sempronio is away, Calisto talks with his other servant Pármeno, who unsuccessfully tries to dissuade him from procuring Celestina’s services (to the left of the image).

  [Gulliver’s home on Brobdingnag]

  Here we see the exterior of Gulliver’s house in Brobdingnag. The house is a box that is sixteen square feet and twelve feet high. It was built to resemble the style of the houses in London in the early eighteenth century. There is a large front door, with two arched windows on the front and a square window on the side. The roof comes off so the giants could see Gulliver more easily. The house is still under construction in this image, as the front door is not attached, and Gulliver’s furniture is outside. Gulliver’s sleigh bed, writing desk, and chairs are on the table, outside his house. Gulliver sits on a bench outside his house. His house sits on a table with a drawer and a chair. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
