Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: Lilliput; England
Description: Here we see Gulliver kneeling with his back to the viewer as he is measured for new clothing. A Lilliputian drops a measuring tape down Gulliver’s back while standing on his shoulder. A ladder leans against Gulliver’s chest. Three hundred other tailors sit on the ground working on piecing together cloth large enough to make clothes for Gulliver. A cart with rolls of cloth is visible in the foreground.
