Description: In this image, the central figures are four Lilliputian cavaliers who are practicing underneath an archway attached to the royal palace. The cavaliers are skirmishing, with some of the horses rearing. The riders are wearing plumed hats. We see Gulliver’s legs in the background. We see another Lilliputian watching from a window in the background. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
