  Q[ve] Lleva de Presentes el Cacique Principal al Dicho Corregidor y no le Agradese en Este Rreyno

  This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the descendants of the Inca and Andean nobles under Spanish colonial rule in Peru and their importance to a revived Andean society. This image depicts a cicaque [native lord] standing on the left side of the image taking his hat off to greet the Spanish corregidor [magistrate] on the right side of the image. There is a native commoner kneeling on the ground while looking up at the corregidor as he holds out his tribute (which appears to be a bad of money or food). There is dialogue written on the page which reads, cayllata senor corregidor ricuchicomuyqui chasquipullauay [Lord magistrate, I’ve come to give you these things, please receive it]. The corregidor replies, por que no trays buenas gallinas y capones y carneros a buestro corregidor, bos me lo pagarés por éstas [Why don’t you instead bring me good chickens, capons, and llamas?].

  [a lamp in front of a neoclassical building]

  Here we see a lamp with a tall base. In the background we see a neoclassical building with a large dome. This image appears at the beginning of the eleventh chapter, in which Gulliver returns home to England. This architectural style was popular in England in the eighteenth century, thus reminiscent of Gulliver’s return home. The lamp represents Japan, where Gulliver traveled from Luggnag, and was able to return home. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

  Cy sensuit histoire de cenobie royne des palumirienes

  This image depicts Zenobia, queen of the Palmyrians, walking through the forest as she hunts with her bow and arrow. She is depicted in the foreground wearing armour and reaching out towards a servant who is carrying her helmet. She is also wearing a crown to demonstrate her royal status. Zenobia was known to have abandoned womanly duties and activities to pursue hunting and more physical activities. Boccaccio explains that she was known to hunt and capture ferocious animals such as bears, leopards, and lions. Zenobia is depicted walking through the trees in the background of the engraving with a bear to the left of her and another animal (what appears to be a horse) to the right.

  [The scale of humans and animals on Lilliput]

  In this image we are shown the scale of all the animals on Lilliput next to Gulliver’s ruler which measures twelve inches. The average Lilliputian man measures six inches tall. The scale includes a human, cow, horse, goat, ram, sheep, dog, monkey, cat, fox, rabbit, mouse, rooster, owl, parrot, parakeet, dove, swan, duck, toucan, turtle, lizard, frog, snake, fish, butterfly, moth, and several other types of insects. The purpose of the image is to demonstrate that the animals on Lilliput are roughly the same scale to the human as is true in the real world. Due to this scale we are also led to believe that the same animals exist on Lilliput as do in reality, simply on a smaller scale, and thus they likely have the same roles and utilities. This contrasts to some animals in the other lands visited by Gulliver later in the story where the animals are more highly fictionalized. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  De venus: hermosa diosessa hija de Jupiter

  The goddess Venus is depicted on the right-hand side of the engraving wearing a crown and holding a long staff in her left hand. We can identify this figure as Venus as her name is engraved directly beside her. Her son, Cupid, is depicted walking alongside her with his bow and arrows in hand and his wings erected in the air. His name is engraved by his feet. The left-hand side of the engraving also depicts Venus as she commits adultery with her half-brother, Mars. Mars’ name is engraved just above Venus’ head. Boccaccio explains that Venus’ husband, Vulcan, had walked in on the adulterous crime, which is what the engraving is illustrating. Vulcan’s name is engraved behind him as Vulcanus. There are unidentified figures in the background of the engraving in the top left-hand corner. Boccaccio explains that Venus was highly adored in Cyprus as well as Rome, and he chose to write on her for her beauty. He criticizes her highly due to her invention of brothels.

  Pompeia Paulina Senece gemahel

  This engraving depicts Seneca and his wife Pompeia Paulina committing suicide in bathtubs. Seneca is depicted on the left side of the image with Pompeia Paulina in the tub beside him. After Emperor Nero found out that his tutor, Seneca, was involved in the conspiracy to assassinate him, he ordered a centurion to command Seneca to commit suicide. Not wanting to live without her husband, Pompeia Paulina got into the tub next to Seneca and slit her arm to die with him. Seneca is depicted dead in the engraving; however, a servant is illustrated saving Paulina by tying a rope around her arm to stop the flow of the blood. Emperor Nero did not want Pompeia Paulina to die as he had nothing against her, which is why the servant came to save her life.
