Period: 1800-1850;
Description: In this image we see Gulliver standing next to the Lilliputian Castle, surrounded by Lilliputians. Here we see the real height difference between Gulliver and the Lilliputians. Several Lilliputians hold swords, while others hold the ladders, they used to climb Gulliver while he was lying on the shore. Two dogs are in the foreground next to the fence. Others stand on the roof of the turret on the right side of the image. Gulliver looks down to the Lilliputians in conversation. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
