Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Brobdingnag; England
Description: Here we see the eagle that carried Gulliver in his house away from Brobdingnag. The eagle picked up Gulliver’s house and carried it out over the ocean before dropping it. Gulliver was then rescued by a merchant’s ship. The image appears at the beginning of the eighth chapter, foreshadowing Gulliver’s escape from Brobdingnag. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
