Title: [Gulliver sits among large leaves on Brobdingnag]
Period: 1800-1850;
Description: In this image we see Gulliver sitting among several large leaves. He is crouched down, contemplating his experiences in the past days on Brobdingnag. The image comes at the end of the first chapter of the second part of the story, after Gulliver described how much more difficult basic things were on Brobdingnag because of his size – specifically moving around and going to the bathroom. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
