Description: In this image the Lilliputian Emperor addresses Gulliver. The Emperor stands on a podium with two attendants. The Emperor holds his arms up during the speech. Gulliver is not in the image. The Emperor wears a form of turban with a large feather and a long cape that one of the attendants holds up. Behind the podium we see a line of Lilliputian militia men holding spears. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
