Description: Here we see cherubs blowing the winds in the four directions of the compass. This image comes at the beginning of chapter seven, when Gulliver leaves Balnibarbi and arrives at Luggnagg. He travelled to Luggnagg to find a ship to take him to Japan, then back to England, however, upon his arrival there was not a ship ready, so Gulliver took a short trip to Glubbdubdrib. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
