[Gulliver’s tutor on Laputa]
-
Description
-
Here we see Gulliver’s tutor from Laputa. He was charged with teaching Gulliver the language and showing him around the island. Gulliver’s tutor showed him the schools and the research in philosophy and astronomy that was being conducted. The image shows how the Laputans had their head tilted to one side and had one eye facing inwards while the other looks upwards. The tutor wears a headpiece that has a “J” on it because it is the first letter of the chapter. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
