This image depicts Celestina standing outside. She is wearing a robe and a veil, with what looks like a rosary hanging from her waist. The illustration itself is surrounded on three sides by a decorative border, with each side featuring a different design.The entire panel is nearly identical to the one found on the title page (where her veil and rosary have been hand-coloured red, and her name has been printed in red), and the central panel (i.e., excluding the borders) is identical to those found on pages 51, 82, 105, 150, 162, and 221.
On an especially warm day, Gulliver decided to bathe in the river while on a walk with the Sorrel Nag who was Gulliver’s protector. While Gulliver bathed the nag grazed nearby. A female yahoo watched Gulliver bathe and jumped into the water and embraced him from behind, scaring Gulliver. The nag returned and scared the yahoo away from Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
Here we see Fanny sitting on a bench with Miss Maria Bertram, Mr. Rushworth, and Mr. Crawford walking towards her. Fanny and her cousins went on a day trip to Sotherton, Mr. Rushworth’s estate. Mr. Rushworth was engaged to Miss Maria Bertram, the eldest Bertram daughter. Fanny was walking with Edmund and Miss Crawford and got tired and then the three of them sat down on a bench. Miss Crawford got restless, and she and Edmund continued on their walk, leaving Fanny alone. Miss Bertram, Mr. Rushworth, and Mr. Crawford approached her and spoke briefly, before deciding to walk through another part of the garden closed off by a gate. Mr. Rushworth went back to the house to get the key, but before he could return Miss Bertram and Mr. Crawford became impatient and climbed over the fence. This scene occurs in chapter 10 as noted underneath the title of this image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny and Maria Bertram wear the regency style dress with an empire waist. Their hair is worn tied up, and they wear bonnets to protect their faces from the shade. Both hold parasols, also used to shade themselves from the sun. Mr. Rushworth and Mr. Crawford wear waistcoats and tailcoats, and knickers that stop at the knee, and top hats. 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.
This engraving depicts Scipio Africanus, a Roman general, committing adultery with a young servant girl on the left side of the image. The name Scipio is engraved at the top to identify Scipio Africanus. The woman in the centre of the engraving is his wife, Tertia Aemilia. She is depicted looking at her husband and his mistress as they commit adultery. Instead of confronting her husband about the affair, she devises a plan to get rid of the mistress. The right side of the engraving depicts Tertia Aemilia marrying the young servant girl off to a freedman. She does this so that no one finds out about the affair so that it does not ruin her reputation. Her name, written as “Tertia Emilia”, is engraved above her head to identify her. Boccaccio explains that he chose to write on Tertia Aemilia because the way she handled the affair and how she used her cunning was admirable.
There is a crow on a branch, in a tree, holding something round between it’s beak and the branch. The object is more oblong than round. A fox is seated at the base of the tree, looking up at the crow. The fox appears to be muscular. There is a house in the distance, to the right of the image. There are some hills or mountains in behind the tree where the crow and fox are gathered. Some small shrubs at the base of the tree.
This illumination depicts Antonia, the daughter of the famous Mark Antony and Octavia. She is illustrated on the right side of the image wearing a blue dress. Antonia is famous for having remained a widow for the rest of her life following her husband Drusus’ death. She spent most of her time with her mother-in-law, Livia, who is presumably one of the women depicted on the left side of the image.
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, seen here. He wears a crown made of leaves, a cape made of an animal pelt, a sceptre made of an animal bone, and an orb made out of a fruit. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
Captain Swankey of the Body Guard stands with one knee on a wooden chair and his hat on the ground, describing pig-sticking to Amelia Osborne, who sits on a sofa with a paper in her hand, looking amused. In the background, Major Dobbin has come upon them while walking past the room.
There are gods in the sky, lounged upon a cloud, looking upon the lake. Frogs in abundance around a log and throughout the lake. There is a stork eating a frog on the side of the lake.
In this image we see Gulliver speaking with the King and Queen of Brobdingnag. On the left is the queen who wears a long, embroidered dress and a headpiece with a veil and long earrings. The King in on the left and wears an embroidered tunic and a tall headpiece that is embroidered with a six-pointed star. Another woman stands behind the king and queen. Gulliver stands on a writing desk next to a quill in an inkwell. His hat is in his hand as he bows to the King and Queen. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
In this image Elinor meets Robert Ferrars. John and Fanny Dashwood, Elinor’s half-brother and sister-in-law had come to London and invited Elinor and Marianne to a dinner party. There Elinor met Edward Ferrars’ mother and brother. Elinor was not impressed with Robert Ferrars, finding him to be nothing like Edward. He was stuck-up and self important. This scene occurs in chapter 36 on page 219 as noted underneath the image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Elinor 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. In her hand she hold a fan, used at this period to signal different messages across the room. John Dashwood and Robert Ferrars wear waistcoats and tailcoats with breeches and cravats. 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.
This illustration depicts a female figure wearing a robe and a veil. She is holding the robe’s girdle cord in her right hand and another object in her left hand. To the left, flowers are emerging from a large vase. A small nude figure with wings is seen in the bottom right corner; we can infer that this is meant to represent Cupid. Based on the girdle cord (which is central to Melibea’s storyline) and Cupid’s presence, we can also infer that the figure is meant to represent Melibea. Based on the window in the top left corner of the illustration, through which hills and buildings are seen, it is likely that this scene is occurring indoors. This is odd, since Melibea first encounters Calisto outdoors, in her garden.
A woman in a long gown with wild loose hair flies through the sky, looking back with a fearful expression. She is holding out in front of her two swords or long daggers. Behind her, the sky is dark and filled with clouds, and at the bottom right of the image is the letter W from “We”, with bright rays coming out from it as if it were the sun.
