Title: [Gulliver throws empty barrels]
Period: 1800-1850;
Description: Here we see Gulliver throwing empty barrels of wine which he had just consumed. The Lilliputian named Hekinah Degul told Gulliver to throw the barrels, however the Lilliputians are still scared of the flying barrels. These Lilliputians can be seen at Gulliver’s feet. All around Gulliver we see various ladders and a ramp which the Lilliputians used to climb on Gulliver. On the far right of the scene, we see the podium the Emperor used to speak to Gulliver. The city skyline can be seen farther in the background. Gulliver’s head and feet are still tied; however, both of his arms are now free. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
