Description: Here we see a crest with elements of all of Gulliver’s travels. Gulliver stands on the right, writing the phrase “Reisen von Gulliver” of a circular badge. On the bottom of the badge sit a group of Lilliputians. A giant from Brobdingnag’s head rests his chin on the top of the circle. On either side of the giant is a Houyhnhnm and a Yahoo. Underneath the circle is the floating island of Laputa. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
