  [Gulliver puts on gloves]

  Here we see a pair of hands – likely Gulliver’s - pulling on a glove. The glove has a man embroidered on the cuff. The man has ruffles around his wrists. The image comes at the end of the first part, before Gulliver leave Blefuscu and returns to England. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  [Gulliver sees great kings of history and their ancestors]

  Here we see one of the great European kings with their ancestors. Much to Gulliver’s surprise, many kings had ancestors who were not royal. Some families had fiddlers, courtiers, barbers, and prelates as ancestors, rather than a line of royalty. Gulliver amused himself by tracing different features through family lines, both physical attributes and characteristics of one’s personality. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  Mandoncillo de Cinco In[di]os, Pichica Camachicoc, Poma, del Ayllu Allauca Guanoco del Pueblo de Chipau, Mitima

  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 native official who was responsible for overseeing five tributary natives in his pueblo of Chipau. He is depicted standing in front of a building while wearing traditional attire with an embroidered tunic and a head piece. He is also illustrated holding a rosary in both hands. The author explains that this official was a mitima [a person who permanently resided outside of the town he administered]. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, tributario y cabildo, no tiene don que no falte cinco yndios tributarios [tributary council, he who lacks five Indians does not have a title].

  [Gulliver watches a herd of cattle which form part of Gulliver’s household]

  Here we see a herd of Lilliputian cattle walking towards the town. The cattle are attended by a Lilliputian man. Gulliver’s head and shoulders are visible over the hill where he watches the cattle. The image comes when the Emperor gives Gulliver his own household and staff, with the cattle making up a part of Gulliver’s household farm. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.

  Having his hair cut

  In this image Frank Churchill goes into London to get a haircut. Frank Churchill came to visit Highbury to visit his father, Mr. Weston, for two weeks. One day of his trip he went 16 miles into London to go to a barber to get his hair cut. Emma thought it was quite frivolous, but she was still very fond of him. This scene occurs in chapter 25. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. The barber wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a cravat and an apron to protect his clothes. Frank Churchill has a cape wrapped around his neck and his top hat is hung on the wall behind him. He has a top hat and carries a walking stick. 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 I – Calisto Encounters Melibea/Celestina Visits Calisto, Sempronio, and Pármeno]

  The left side of this illustration presumably depicts Calisto’s first encounter with Melibea. To the right, we see a group of figures. The leftmost figure in this group represents Celestina, who is wearing a robe and veil. Three of the remaning four figures would represent Calisto, Sempronio, and Pármeno, signalling that this is intended to represent the scene in which Celestina first visits Calisto. However, the presence of a fourth figure does not accord with the number of characters present in this scene.[This illustration is identical to those found in Acts VII (folio 52v), IX (folio 67r), XI (folio 80r), XII (folio 83v), XIV (folio 96v), XVI (folio 106v), and XIX (folio 115v).]

  Animals are lounging in a field. There is a bull, a lion, a sheep, and a goat standing. On the ground lies a deer. There are leafy trees in the background, and weeds coming out of the ground where the animals are eating and lounging. Birds are flying in the air further in the back amongst the trees.

  Cornifice poete

  This illumination depicts a woman named Cornificia sitting down as she writes on a piece of parchment with a quill. Cornificia is famous for her poetry and writing abilities. She is said to have written many Heliconian verses which were highly esteemed. Boccaccio explains that she is worthy of praise as poetry and writing was not something women excelled in or pursued during Cornificia’s time.

  Two groups of Indigenous people approach each other in canoes. Each canoe has one archer in front, and each archer aims their bow at the opposing group. There is a European man in the canoe on the left in the back, aiming a gun. The rest of the Indigenous people in the canoes hold paddles. Two people have fallen into the water between the canoes. Two Indigenous settlements are shown on the shore in the background.
• 
  [Lawyers depicted as spiders]

  Here we see a satire of lawyers as a spider in a web. The image represents Gulliver’s unflattering views on lawyers as insects. The image represents lawyers wrapping up their clients by confusing them, just as spiders trap their prey in their webs. The image appears at the beginning of chapter six, and the letter M appears in the top corner because my is the first word of the chapter.

Behind the donkey there is another man who is about to hit it with what appears to be a stick. Below the man on the chair, in the bottom right of the image, there is a dog who appears to be barking at the donkey.

  William and Fanny were horror-struck at the idea

  Here we see William and Fanny standing at a window in Mansfield Park, looking in horror. They were going to Portsmouth to visit their family, where William would get on board a ship as a lieutenant. They were going to travel post, but Sir Thomas said they would go in his carriage. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Norris thought she might travel with them to visit her sister, Mrs. Price, whom she had not seen in twenty years. William and Fanny did not want Mrs. Norris to travel with them because she was very tiresome. She ultimately decided not to go to Portsmouth, much to the relief of William and Fanny. This scene occurs in chapter 37. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny wears a regency style dress with an empire waist. William wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches. 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 X – Melibea, Celestina, and Lucrecia Talking as Alisa Approaches]

  After Lucrecia (left-central figure) tells Celestina (right-central figure) that Melibea (rightmost figure) has requested her presence, they both go to Melibea’s house. There, Melibea informs Celestina about the pain in her heart and asks what the cause might be. [The identity of the leftmost figure is uncertain, since Alisa does not enter the scene until after the next illustration. This may be intended to represent another of Melibea’s servants.]

  [Battle plans for the Lilliputan-Blefuscu war]

  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. In the foreground we see a meal prepared, possibly representing the meals the Emperor would eat while his citizens were away fighting – a commentary on the divisions within society. 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 the 1843 Krabbe edition.
