Description: Here we see the Lilliputians taking an inventory of Gulliver’s belongings. In the foreground we see Gulliver’s sword and pistol. A Lilliputian is standing on a stack of paper counting bullets in the foreground. Two Lilliputians examine Gulliver’s comb, while others look at his telescope. In the background we see Lilliputians using sticks to carry Gulliver’s small box and pocket watch. In the distance we see other Lilliputians carry some other things on their heads and shoulders. The city skyline is visible in the background. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
