[Gulliver climbs the wall of the Emperor’s palace in Mildendo]

Description
-
In this image we see Gulliver climbing over the walls of the Emperor’s palace, which lies in the centre of Mildendo. The walls were five feet high, so Gulliver built himself two stools out of wood to help him get over the walls – as the gates were too difficult for Gulliver to get through or over. The stools were each three feet tall, and there was one on each side of the wall. Gulliver did this because the Emperor wanted to see the Imperial Palace. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
