Description: Here Gulliver was given the honour of ‘nardac’ for his work in the war between Lilliput and Blefuscu. Gulliver kneels before the Emperor of Lilliput, who stands on top of the lighthouse, holding a sword. Gulliver is still in the water, and a crowd gathered to see the spectacle. The honour of nardac is the highest honour for Lilliputians.
