Description: This image contains two scenes taken after Gulliver was granted his freedom. On the left side we see Gulliver standing as a triumphal arch for a military procession. After Gulliver agreed to the terms of his freedom, the Emperor of Lilliput requested that Gulliver stand with his legs apart acting as an arch for a military procession. The procession included three-thousand men on foot and one thousand cavalry members. On the right-side Gulliver lies on the ground looking in the window of the imperial palace. He was impressed by the splendor of the palace and saw the Queen and her sons inside the palace.
