Description: This image is of an angel trumpeting. The angel is wearing a long dress and has large wings. She is flying over a city. The trumpet has a long banner hanging from it that the angel holds. It is the opening image of the story of Gulliver’s Travels, and presumably is signaling for people to come listen to the story. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
