Period: 1850-1900;
Description: Here we see Gulliver’s hand immediately after firing his pistol as a demonstration for the Lilliputians. A cloud of smoke comes from the pistol, while the Lilliputians cower in fear. This image comes at the point in the story where Gulliver demonstrates his weapons to the people of Lilliput, including his rapier and his pistol, which he loaded with gunpowder to demonstrate its use. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
