Description: Here we see a statue depicting Justice in Lilliput. Justice is represented by a woman who holds a bag of coins in one hand and a sword in the other. She sits on a podium with two eyes on the front, one on either side, and another two on the back (the side and back eyes are not visible in this image) meaning that Justice sees everything. The podium is placed in a recessed archway with a set of scales on either side. Two Lilliputians stand in front of the statue looking up at it, while three guards stand on the right, in the shade of the statue. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
