Description: In this image, Gulliver speaks with Captain William Prichard, who convinced Gulliver to travel with him to the South Sea on the ship called the Antelope, visible in the background. The two men discuss their voyage on the land, with several barrels behind them. Other members of the crew can be seen walking and talking on the dock, behind Gulliver and Prichard, with two other men in a small boat, loading cargo from the dock to take to the ship. An anchor is in the water behind the men. A small sailing boat is next to the larger ship. The men can be identified by their clothing, with Prichard wearing a captain’s tricorne hat and fine coat, while Gulliver wears a flat brimmed top hat and carries a cane. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
