Description: Here we see the Queen of Brobdingnag’s dwarf shaking an apple tree to drop apples on Gulliver. Gulliver was walking through the garden when the dwarf saw him and began to shake the tree, dropping apples on Gulliver to torment him. In the image, Gulliver is lying underneath four apples with only his head and arms sticking out. The dwarf shakes the tree. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
