Title: [Gulliver performs for a crowd on Brobdingnag]
Period: 1850-1900;
Description: Here we see Gulliver performing for a crowd of Giants. The Farmer sold tickets to other giants to see Gulliver. On the front right, we see Glumdalclitch speaking to Gulliver and giving him instructions, while an older woman leans over her shoulder. Two other children stand in front of the table watching Gulliver. Behind the children are their parents. There are two more rows of giants in shadow. Gulliver stands on a table holding a piece of straw as though it was a fencing sword. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
