Eight Indigenous people sail near the coast on a large wooden raft. The raft has a single small sail at the fore end and a raised platform in the middle. Around the edges, six of the passengers row with large oars (three on each side). At the rear, one person sits on a raised bench with a smaller oar, and another person throws something into the water. In the background two people sit in the water on long, narrow wooden rafts. They hold a net between them to catch fish. This image is identical to one found on page 159 verso of Venice, 1565.

Here we see the Lilliputians taking an inventory of Gulliver’s belongings. In the foreground we see Gulliver’s sword and pistol. A Lilliputian is standing on a stack of paper counting bullets in the foreground. Two Lilliputians examine Gulliver’s comb, while others look at his telescope. In the background we see Lilliputians using sticks to carry Gulliver’s small box and pocket watch. In the distance we see other Lilliputians carry some other things on their heads and shoulders. The city skyline is visible in the background. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
Here we see Elizabeth Bennet leaning against a tree, reading a letter from Mr. Darcy. In this letter, Mr. Darcy outlines the reality of the character and his relationship with Mr. Wickham. Mr. Wickham was a militia officer stationed in the town near Longbourn. He was very charismatic and Elizabeth’s sister, Lydia, ran away with him and got married, much to the distress of the rest of the Bennet family. Mr. Darcy disapproved of Mr. Wickham, as Wickham was Mr. Darcy's father’s godson, and Wickham tried to marry Darcy’s sister, Georgiana, in order to obtain her wealth. Wickham also inherited some money from Mr. Darcy’s father with the intention that he join the clergy, but he did not follow through with his clerical studies. In this letter he also explained why he split up Jane and Mr. Bingham, because he did not realize their mutual love. Darcy explained to Elizabeth that he thought Jane unworthy of Bingley and persuaded him to leave Netherfield. In his letter, he apologized for this misjudgment. The letter was intended to address Elizabeth’s accusations regarding his pride, and Elizabeth’s prejudices against him. The letter marks a shift in Mr. Darcy’s character and the beginning of the real love between Elizabeth and Darcy. This scene occurs in chapter 35 and is noted underneath the title of this image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, with Elizabeth wearing the regency style dress with an empire waist. Her hair is worn tied up, as was tradition for women after their coming out before the queen, signaling her entrance into society. She wears a bonnet to protect her face from the sun, common in regency style. These bonnets were a popular fashion because during this period one of the favourite pastimes of young women was going for walks, referenced frequently in Austen’s novels. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion. The same image appears as an insert between pages 12 and 13 for the Dent 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896, and 1897 editions of Pride and Prejudice.
After the death of Sempronio and Pármeno, Calisto asks Sosia and Tristan (the two figures in the foreground) to accompany him to Melibea’s house. When they arrive at her house, they place a ladder on the high wall surrounding the garden (in this illustration it is depicted inside the garden, in the background to the left), and Calisto climbs over. He spends the night with Melibea (in the background to the left), and based on the dialogue, we can assume he takes her virginity. However, daylight begins its approach too quickly, occasioning his departure. He, Sosia, and Tristan return to his house, and he ascends to his bedroom to get some sleep. When he is alone, he laments the shortness of his visit with Melibea.This illustration is quite similar to the one found on page 4 of the text (folio a3v), in terms of composition.

This image depicts a conflict between an Indigenous group and a group of colonists. The conflict is taking place around a European settlement on the coast of Brazil. The settlement is made up of three fenced areas, the middle of which contains dwellings and several cannons. The other two fenced areas contain several individuals and what may be a hammock (left) and several individuals and a cluster of mounds on the ground (right). Indigenous people roam mostly outside of the fenced areas carrying longbows, and a few Europeans outside the fences aim long guns.

Here we see battle plans for the war between Lilliput and Blefuscu. A compass is used to calculate the attack routes, with the farthest route being 1874 units. Surrounding the maps we see barrels and bottles representing the ammunition and other provisions which were necessary.

Gulliver’s hat is seen in the background, representing the Lilliputian’s secret weapon. The image comes at the end of the third chapter. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
