Title: [Gulliver encounters a frog while sailing]
Period: 1850-1900;
Description: Here Gulliver meets a frog who accidentally got into the trough in which Gulliver sailed for the entertainment of the court of Brobdingnag. The trough was built so that Gulliver could sail and entertain the courtiers, and the water was changed every three days. The frog got in when the water was being changed and climbed into Gulliver’s boat. In the image we see the frog’s head comes out of the water, and Gulliver fends him off with a stick while in the ship. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
