Description: Here we see two Lilliputian tailors taking Gulliver’s measurements for new clothes. Gulliver is kneeling on the ground. One tailor stands on Gulliver’s shoulder and drops the weighted measuring tape down to the ground. A second tailor stands on the ground and records Gulliver’s measurements in a notepad. A tall ladder is leaning against Gulliver’s back. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
