[A skeleton firing a cannon]

Description
-
Here we see a skeleton firing a cannon. This image appears at the beginning of chapter seven, in which Gulliver explains the use of gunpowder to the King of Brobdingnag. Gulliver offers to teach the army of Brobdingnag to use gunpowder and cannons, but the King refuses, and is shocked at the violence of the invention and of the Europeans. The letter N is in the top right corner because the first word of the chapter is nothing.
