Title: [Gulliver rides home after returning to England from Brobdingnag]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Brobdingnag; England
Description: Here we see Gulliver riding on a horse after arriving in England. He waves people out of the way as he rides home. He writes that he felt as though he were on Lilliput because everything felt so small. Thus, he waves people out of the way, fearing he might trample people. Naturally, he received several strange looks from people walking along the road, which can be seen in the image. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
