Title: [Gulliver in the war with Blefuscu]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Lilliput; Blefuscu; England
Description: Here we see a depiction of the war between Lilliput and Blefuscu. In the foreground we see two Blefuscudian ships, with the men jumping ship out of fear of Gulliver. These ships are fairly small, as they only have one sail, compared to the multiple sails on the Lilliputian ships shown in other images. Gulliver, who’s head and shoulders are above the water are visible in the background. Gulliver’s participation was what won the war for the Lilliputians. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
