Description: This image is of a large anchor with rope. Two large ships are visible in the background. The image appears at the beginning of a letter from Richard Tymp, Swift’s cousin. The anchor is also used to represent the letter “I”, as the first letter of the German word “ich” which is the first word of the chapter. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
