Title: [a guard outside Gulliver’s door in Luggnagg]
Period: 1800-1850;
Description: Here we see a centry posted outside Gulliver’s door in Luggnagg. The officer with whom Gulliver spoke said he must be confined until permission from the Court could be granted to Gulliver to stay on the island as he was a guest. Despite his confinement, Gulliver’s quarters included gardens. Gulliver had several visitors during his confinement who came to ask him about his home, with the help of an interpreter Gulliver hired while on the ship from Glubbdubdrib. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
