  [Wars of religion depicted through the correct way to crack an egg on Lilliput]

  In this image we see the two types of eggs at war with each other. Those on the left are cracked on the top, while those on the right have been cracked in the middle. This difference as to the correct way to crack an egg was the reason for the tensions between Lilliput and Blefuscu. This is a thinly veiled reference to the religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, where Swift insinuates that the correct religious beliefs – like the correct way to crack an egg – is a personal decision, and not one worth going to war over. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

  [The Fox, the Wolf, and the Person in Robes]

  Emily Bronte from a painting of a family group by Branwell Bronte

  Here we see a portrait bust of Emily Bronte. According to the list of illustrations, this is the only portrait of Emily Bronte that exists. The portrait comes from a larger image of the entire Bronte family, taken by Branwell Bronte, Emily’s brother. The list of illustrations says, The Rev. A. B. Nicholls, her brother-in-law, considers it a good likeness.

  De Sapho puella lesbia et poeta

  This engraving depicts Sappho, the famous poetess from Lesbos, sitting in the foreground while playing a stringed instrument. We know that this is Sappho as her name is engraved above her head. There are other stringed instruments and sheet music surrounding her. Sappho was in love with a man (depicted on the right-hand side of the engraving) who did not share the mutual feelings. Boccaccio explains that this is the reason as to why her poems and music verses were so somber.

  [Act II] Calisto spreect tot beyde syn dienaers.

  Soon after Celestina visits Calisto’s house, Calisto becomes impatient and orders Sempronio to pay her a visit and hasten her along in accomplishing her task. He does not want to leave Calisto alone, so Calisto asks Pármeno to keep him company in order to alleviate Sempronio’s concerns. Pármeno once again tries to dissuade Calisto from trusting Celestina, but he is again unsuccessful. In the top left corner there is a veiled woman perched in a window observing the other figures. Because the rightmost figure appears to be quite sad, it is likely meant to represent Calisto. Because Sempronio is consistently depicted as a bearded figure, we can infer that he is likely represented by the central figure. The leftmost figure would therefore represent Pármeno. This figure is shown looking at Celestina while also reaching out toward Calisto and Sempronio, perhaps intended to represent his desire that Calisto should avoid her. All three figures are shown wearing hats and have swords mounted on their belts.The entire image is identical to those found on pages 93 and 171 of the text.

  La Villa de Pverto Viexo

  This image is depicted in the author’s chapter where he discusses cities, towns, villages, and provinces in colonial South America. This image depicts the down of Puerto Viejo in modern Costa Rica. The author describes this town to be the first Christian port of the kingdom. The city is illustrated on the edge of a coastal region. There is long beach grass sticking out on the side of the edge to further demonstrate that the city is located on the edge of water. There are four boats depicted in the water on the left side of the image. The town is illustrated as a cluster of buildings which forms a square in the centre. There are three people walking in the square. There is a long winding path that leads into the city where a soldier is illustrated walking. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, uilla [town].

  [Act XVII]

  In the centre of the illustration, we see a female figure wearing a robe and a veil. There are two male figures to the left and one to the right. Because there are two female characters (Elicia and Areusa) and one male character (Sosia) in Act XVII, we can say that this illustration does not relate to the events contained within the act.[This illustration is identical to those found in Acts IV (folio 32r), V (folio 42r), VI (folio 45r), VIII (folio 62r), X (folio 74r), XIII (folio 93v), and XV (folio 102r).]

  [A group of Indigenous people attacks the Tupinambá village called 'Uwattibi']

  A Brazilian Indigenous group attacks the Tupinambá village 'Uwattibi'. The attcking group have arrived in canoes, which are pulled up along the shore on the right. They have surrounded the village and shoot arrows through and over the fence. These men wear feathered headdress and adornments around their waists, most carry bows and have arrows quivers slung around their shoulders, and a few also carry a shield. Several people, both in the attacking group and inside the village, blow into an object, perhaps a wind instrument or blow gun. Inside the village, Tupinambá men stand just inside the fence shooting arrows out towards the attacking group. The women and children in the center of the village run in panic.
