Title: [Gulliver shows the Captain of the ship the things he brought from Brobdingnag]
Period: 1800-1850;
Description: Here Gulliver shows the captain of the ship some of the things that he brought from Brobdingnag. In his hand, Gulliver holds a ring worn on the pinky finger of the Queen of Brobdingnag. On the table are the comb made from the beard hair of the King of Brobdingnag, and stingers from the wasps on Brobdingnag. Gulliver tries to give the ring to the captain as thanks however the captain rejects him, asking instead for a tooth from one of Glumdalclitch’s servants. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
