Description: This image is a depiction of a court scene from Gulliver’s Travels, likely in the land of Glubbdubdrib. The image is of a stage, with curtains along the top of the image, and lights lining the bottom of the stage, denoting the difference from the stage and the man, likely Gulliver, who observes the king and a courtier on the stage. A wall separates Gulliver from the other characters. Statues in the Classical or Neoclassical style line the walls of the hall, with stairs at the back leading to a throne. The image in this edition is the same as that in the 1728 German von Wiering edition.
