Subject: family; fictional works; Fictitious characters; giants
Period: 1850-1900;
Description: Here we see Gulliver talking to his family when he first sees them after returning to England from Brobdingnag. Gulliver tells us how he knelt down when his wife came to kiss him, because he felt like a giant. When his daughter came to speak with him, she knelt down but he could not see her until she stood up because he became so used to looking up to the giants. In the image, Gulliver’s family looks concerned as Gulliver tells them what he saw, thinking he had gone crazy. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
