Geographic: Brobdingnag; England
Description: Before finding Gulliver, the Queen of Brobdingnag had a dwarf in her court. After Gulliver arrived, the dwarf became jealous and began tormenting Gulliver. Because of his size, Gulliver could not fight back, so he called him ‘brother’ as a way of irritating him. In this image the dwarf looks disapprovingly on Gulliver, who stands on a table entertaining the court.
