Two Tupinambá men are shown, each holding a different weapon. One man stands in front of the other, holding a club with feathers on the end in one hand. The man standing behind him points a bow and arrow at something beyond the right edge of the image. Both men are nude and have an adornment on their chin. The man in front has marks (tattoos or paint) on his chest, biceps and thighs. The head of another man from an enemy group lays on the ground behind the men.

In this image Mr. Bingley rides up to the Bennet’s house on horseback. After Mr. Bennet called on Mr. Bingley, he returned the call, coming to Longbourn. This thrilled Mrs. Bennet and her daughters, as it was the first time they met Mr. Bingley. This scene occurs in chapter 3. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mr. Bingley wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a top hat. 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 personal library on Lilliput. Gulliver tells us that the only person on Lilliput with an extensive library is the Emperor, and even the very wealthy have only a small library, with most people not having any sort of library. Gulliver compares the small libraries of individual Lilliputians to a library that could be carried on a donkey’s back; thus, we see a donkey sitting by the base of the bookshelf. This image comes in the appendix to Gulliver’s travels to Lilliput, in which Gulliver critiques the Lilliputian education system. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
On the left side of the image, a wolf is standing on a hill. Below the wolf, there is a horse getting his nose bitten by a fox. On the right side of the image, a human is standing ready to hit the horse or fox with a piece of wood.

This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. This image depicts a judge on the right side of the image robbing a noble indigenous man on the right side of the image. He appears to be taking a cloak from him. These judges were sent by Spanish mine owners to rob indigenous peoples of noble and lower status. The author criticizes the mine owners as they disrespected, abused, overworked, and took advantage of the indigenous peoples who worked in the mines. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “de las minas” [from the mines].
This illumination depicts Penthesilea, the queen of the Amazons, riding a horse while pointing her bow behind her. Penthesilea, as Boccaccio describes, was a great warrior. She wanted to secure a strong heir for the Amazons, so she sought out Hector of Troy to provide her with an heir. She fought in a battle against the Greeks to prove herself worthy of bearing Hectors child. She died in battle trying to impress Hector.
After leaving Glubbdubdrib, Gulliver went to the Kingdom of Luggnagg, where he was told he could get permission to go to Japan in the hopes of returning to England. It was customary for a visitor to the court of Luggnagg to lick the floor in front of the throne as a sign of respect. This ceremony is shown in this image. This image appears at the beginning of chapter nine, and the letter “T” is in the top corner because “the” is the first word of the chapter.
Lady Jane Crawley sits on a chair in the nursery, listening to her son Pitt Binky’s morning prayers. Next to her chair is a toy horse, and above it the letter T from “The”.

She is holding onto the arm of her husband, Major Mick O’Dowd, who has on a cap and is wearing his sword at his hip. Behind the pair are William Dobbin, also with his sword, and Amelia Osborne, who is in a bonnet and looking up at Dobbin. The flower seller is dressed in a bonnet, apron, and clogs, and seated on a low stool behind the table which holds her rows of potted plants.

Below the illustration is printed its title and location in the story, “MRS. O’DOWD AT THE FLOWER-MARKET. (p. 135.)”
In this image we see Gulliver and Glumdalclitch – the daughter of the farmer, who became Gulliver’s nurse. Gulliver kneels on a cushion, and hands Glumdalclitch his sword. A small sleigh bed that Glumdalclitch made for Gulliver is in the foreground, with Gulliver’s clothes lying on the ground. Glumdalclitch wears a dress with laces in the front, and a cap with her hair coming out from the bottom. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
A group of Indigenous women crouch around large pots on the ground. They chew roots (manioc/cassava) and then spit them into the vats, after which the concoction is boiled and strained. A woman by the pot on the right carries a large basket on her back full of more roots. Two men, one holding a bow and the other a spear, stand talking just behind the women. In the background, two people tend a large pot over the fire where the beverage is being boiled. Another individual walks by carrying a large container on their back. One structure is also visible in the background. This image is identical to one found on page 917 of Paris 1575 (l’Huillier).
One dog is looking at four rats in front of him, two of them are small rats and two of them are rather large. In the background there’s a castle and two trees, there’s also a bunch of wheat stacked together in the middle of the image.
In this image Lady Catherine de Bourgh walks into Longbourn. Lady Catherine came to Longbourn to discuss the rumours that Mr. Darcy was going to propose to Elizabeth. Lady Catherine wanted Elizabeth to deny the rumours and promise not to accept his proposal should he offer one. This is because Lady Catherine wanted Mr. Darcy to marry her daughter instead. Elizabeth refused Lady Catherine’s request, saying that if Mr. Darcy proposed she would happily accept. This infuriated Lady Catherine and she left in anger. This scene occurs in chapter 56. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Lady Catherine wears a regency dress with an empire waistline. She wears an overcoat and a bonnet and carries a purse and walking stick. 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 Gulliver waving to the Houyhnhnms he lived with during his time on the Country of the Houyhnhnms as he sails away. The Council of the Houyhnhnms told his master that Gulliver either had to live with the yahoos or return to Europe but could not live with the Houyhnhnms any longer. Gulliver was shocked by this, and decided he had to leave rather than live with the yahoos. On the shore behind the Houyhnhnms we see the special trees that grow in the Country of the Houyhnhnms, seen in an earlier image. Gulliver sails away in a small sailboat that he built with the help of the Sorrel Nag during his last two months in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
This illustration depicts the eighth king of the Inca Empire, Viracocha (also spelled as Wiraqucha). He is illustrated wearing traditional royal garb and holding a shield in his left hand and a long ax in his right. The author describes him to be a religiously devout leader and explains his conquests were vast. The bottom of the image reads “Reynó Guanca, Yauyos, Xauxa, Caxa, Yca, Chincha, Lati, Sulco, Lima,” which are all the cities this king had conquered.
A violent storm hits the island of Hispaniola, capsizing a European ship and knocking down trees. A group of Spaniards flee the hurricane to the left and a group of Indigenous people run to the right amid the driving rain. Lightning forks through the sky and large waves lash the shore.
