[Gulliver speaks with a Lilliputian official]

Description
-
Here we see Gulliver speaking to an official from the Lilliputian court. The official sits in a sedan chair, however the chair attendants were dismissed. The official was there to inform Gulliver that he had been charged with treason. Gulliver was charged because he urinated on the Imperial Palace to put out a fire in the Empress’s apartments and for preparing to visit the Emperor of Blefuscu – the enemy of Lilliput. Because of these charges, Gulliver leaves Lilliput and travels to Blefuscu. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
