Title: [Two men having a fist fight]
Period: 1850-1900;
Description: Here we see two men fist fighting in the street, while a crowd watches from behind a short wall. Their hats and coats are on the ground. In the background we see a large castle, and a rooster. In this chapter Gulliver talks with the King of Brobdingnag about English traditions. Gulliver tells the King about diplomacy, religion, the justice system, the arts, the financial system, and the nobility, then debated these issues with the king. This image comes when Gulliver is discussing the judicial system. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
