Description: This image shows the scene in Lilliput where Gulliver is transported into the city from the shore on a large gurney. A Lilliputian guard stuck his sword into Gulliver’s nose, tickling Gulliver causing him to sneeze, which in turn threw the guard off of Gulliver’s chest. Gulliver is shown tied onto the gurney, with two guards on Gulliver’s chest and three on horseback next to the gurney.
