Description: Here we see the silhouettes of several men and women from history that Gulliver spoke to with the help of the Governor of Glubbdubdrib’s necromancy skills. The silhouettes show men and women wearing different styles of clothing, indicating the eras in which they lived. Their clothes also indicate what they did when they were alive, for example, soldiers carry spears. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
