Description: In this image we see Gulliver sleeping outside the city in Blefuscu. Due to his size, there was nowhere for him to sleep in Blefuscu. Thus, Gulliver was forced to sleep outside, using his overcoat or coverlet as a blanket. In this image we see Gulliver’s size as compared to the buildings surrounding him. Gulliver leans on a large structure with his arms crossed, his head resting in his folded arms. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
