Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Blefuscu; England
Description: Here we see an overturned boat that Gulliver discovered off the coast of Blefuscu. With the help of the Emperor’s largest vessel, Gulliver retrieved the boat and brought it back to land and spent several days fixing the bottom which was damaged. Gulliver then used this boat to leave Blefuscu and sailed off and was picked up by and English merchant’s ship. In the background is a lighthouse. Above the lighthouse is the letter “T”, because the first word of the chapter is “Theils”. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
