  When Celestina (second figure from the right) and Sempronio (one of the figures to the left) arrive at Calisto’s house, Celestina tells Calisto (rightmost figure) about her meeting with Melibea. Calisto experiences impassioned mood swings with every sentence that Celestina speaks, and Pármeno (one of the figures to the left) starts chiding both him and Celestina. Sempronio grows impatient with Pármeno and tells him that his words are harming the happiness of all.

  [Gulliver and the scientists on Laputa]

  This image is a depiction of Gulliver interacting with the scientists and philosophers on Laputa. The object that the characters surround is an invention which the Laputans thought would reimagine their language. There are squares which would be turned by handles, which can be seen on the front side of the table. On each of the squares is a symbol representing a phrase in the Laputan language. The scientist stands in front of the table with his invention, explaining it to Gulliver who stands to the left side of the image. Students are surrounding the invention, listening to the scientist, waiting to operate it. A map of the island of Balnibarbi is on the wall behind the students. The same map, which shows how the island moves, is included in several other German editions of Gulliver’s Travels, including the 1727 von Wiering edition. A picture above the map depicts a child playing with branches and a man on horseback. Underneath this internal image is the phrase “jüng gebogen, recht gezogen”. The same image appears in the 1761 German edition.

  [a scholar from of the Royal Society of Laputa]

The author compares these scholars to Sir Isaac Newton. 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 Royal Society was satirized in the Third Part of the Book with the Philosophical Society of Laputa. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
