Title: [Gulliver holds up the Queen of Brobdingnag’s ring, showing it to the captain of the ship that rescued him]
Period: 1850-1900;
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 both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
