Title: [lawyers in a court]
Period: 1800-1850;
Description: In chapter five, Gulliver explains several aspects of society in England. Here we see two lawyers in a debate in a court. Gulliver casts lawyers in a very negative light, saying their job was to convince people that white was black and black was white. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
