Period: 1800-1850;
Description: In this image we see Gulliver walking sideways between buildings in the Lilliputian city of Mildendo. The street where Gulliver is walking is likely a residential street, since it is considerably narrower than the main street seen on page 55, meaning Gulliver must walk sideways to fit down the street. Lilliputian residents are leaning out their windows, standing on their balconies, and on the roofs to get a look at Gulliver, who is a giant to them. Some Lilliputians children are still on the street and their mother rushes them inside to get out of Gulliver’s way. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
