Title: [Gulliver is rescued by an English ship and a Lilliputian sheep next to a rat]
Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: England; Lilliput
Description: Here we see two scenes from Gulliver’s return to England. On the left side we see Gulliver in his boat approaching a large English ship. Gulliver was brought on board of the ship and returned home to England. In Gulliver’s boat we see several Lilliputian cows, along with Gulliver’s provisions. On the right side we see a rat with a Lilliputian sheep in its mouth. This shows the difference in size between the animals from Lilliput and those of the rest of the world.
