[Lilliputians perform while Gulliver watches]
-
Description
-
In this image we see the Lilliputians performing for Gulliver. Three are walking on a tightrope, with one doing a handstand, another juggling, and the third walking with a long pole. A fourth man is lying on the ground, as though he fell off the tightrope. A crowd watches the performance from above, with Gulliver sitting in the back. This performance was used for participants to earn their place in high favour at the royal court. Pillows are on the floor to help break the fall of anyone who might slip. This image comes when Gulliver is being accepted into Lilliputian society. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
