Description: Here we see several Lilliputian scholars examining Gulliver’s effects. Some look at his pocket watch, while others look through his telescope. We also see a ring on the ground. The Lilliputian Emperor called in his scholars to examine all of Gulliver’s effects, and they were particularly interested in Gulliver’s pistol, not pictured here.
