Description: In this image we see Gulliver who has freed his left arm from the Lilliputians' ties, attempting to stop the arrows of the Lilliputians. He is surrounded on all sides by the Lilliputians who are firing arrows at him. We see the shower of arrows in the air going towards Gulliver’s arm which is defending his face. Gulliver’s right hand and legs remain tied up. Gulliver’s hat lies behind his head, with a Lilliputian hiding behind it. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
