Description: This image shows several elements of the story of Gulliver’s Travels. The central figure is one of the giants from Brobdingnag, who holds a ship, likely representing Gulliver’s ship. Two eagles – reflecting the eagles who took Gulliver from Brobdingnag – are holding the horses from the land of the Houyhnhnms. The image in this edition is the same as that in the 1728 German von Wiering edition.
