Title: [Gulliver listens to a concert on Brobdingnag]
Period: 1850-1900;
Description: Here we see Gulliver attending to a concert given by the King of Brobdingnag. Gulliver stands at the window and holds his fingers in his ears because he found the music too loud. In the background we see a musician playing an oboe, with a trombone slide, a bass drum, and the bell of a trumpet visible behind him. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
