  Both advised Mrs. Norris's continuing where she was

  Here we see Edmund and Sir Thomas advising Mrs. Norris to stay in the drawing room rather than go out into the hall when Fanny’s brother, William, arrived. Both men advised Mrs. Norris that it would be better to let Fanny and William reunite alone, allowing them to join the rest of the group in the drawing room. This scene occurs in chapter 24. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mrs. Norris wears the regency style dress with an empire waist, and a mop cap to cover her hair. Edmund and Sir Thomas wear waistcoats and tailcoats, and breeches that stop at the knee and cravats. 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.

  [Act XX – Melibea, Lucrecia, and Pleberio]

  After Lucrecia guides Melibea to her bedroom, she wakes Pleberio and informs him that Melibea has been afflicted by a grave illness. Pleberio rushes to help Melibea and asks her the nature of her illness. Melibea responds that it is an illness of the heart for which there is no cure. He takes her outside for some fresh air, and Lucrecia follows (presumably the scene depicted in this illustration). Melibea says that music might help alleviate her sickness, and Pleberio goes to fetch some instruments. She then asks Lucrecia to join her in ascending the house’s tower, but once they reach the top, she claims that the height is making her uneasy. When Lucrecia begins descending the stairs, Melibea closes the door and locks herself in. As Pleberio stands at the base of the tower, Melibea reveals the true cause of her illness --the death of Calisto-- and tells him that she had been meeting with Calisto for months. She then jumps from the tower, taking her own life.[The figures in this illustration are used in multiple other illustrations throughout this edition.]

  Ein lahmer Hund einen Feind, welcher einen Angriff von aussen beabsichtigt

  This image is of a lazy dog. A lazy dog was code for an invader. This image comes in a description of a conspiracy found by a professor from the Grand Academy on Balnibarbi. This idea is representing code word for terms in the conspiracy that Swift is satirizing. The professor advises that those named in the conspiracy papers be closely monitored at all times, naming specifically while they were using the bathroom, as this is when men were most thoughtful. This conspiracy is thought to be an allusion to the trial of Francis Atterbury, the bishop of Rochester for allegedly plotting with the Jacobites. Atterbury was charged with treason in 1722 and was exiled to France. During Atterbury’s trial, his dog was used as evidence against him as the dog was a present from the French. Other interpretations of this image see the dog as the crown pretender Jacob Stuart or Jacob III. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  [the Houyhnhnm’s house]

  Here we see the Houyhnhnm’s house. Gulliver describes it as a long building made of timber with a low, straw roof. The house has a smooth clay floor and a rack and manger that extends the entire length of the house. The letter A is on the house because this image appears at the beginning of chapter two, and A is the first letter of the chapter. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

  Terzera Edad Del Mundo Des Abrahan

  This illustration depicts the biblical story of Abraham and his son Isaac. Abraham is kneeling as he holds a sword above his head in his right hand and his left hand is holding his son’s head. Abraham is depicted looking up to the sky, where God is pictured in the top left corner. Isaac is pictured kneeling with his hands bound together. Abraham was about to sacrifice his son to God, but the fact that Abraham was willing to do it was enough. There is a winged angel holding onto Abraham’s sword to stop him from killing his child. The word Abrahan is written above Abraham’s head to identify him. The words Sacrificio a Dios, con su hijo que pidió a Dios which translates to Sacrifice to God, with his son who asked God. The words en Jerusalem are written below Abraham’s legs to identify where they are.
