Period: 1800-1850;
Description: Here we see a depiction of the winemaking process in Europe. In the foreground we see the grapes and other fruits, and in the background, we see men working a mill to crush the grapes. This image appears when Gulliver explains the culture surrounding wine in Europe, including its effects on people and their behaviour, both the short-term drunkenness followed by hangovers, and the longer-term effects on one’s health. The image also reflects Gulliver’s account of the rich man benefiting off of the poor man’s labour. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
