Description: In this image we see Gulliver being brought into the town from the shore on a gurney. This is to remove the arrows. The gurney is drawn by a large team of horses. Soldiers with spears walk alongside the gurney with their weapons. A crowd lines the streets to see Gulliver. The silhouettes of Lilliputians can be seen on the rooftops, while others in the foreground are sitting on posts. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
