  Triaria, femme de Lucius Vitellius, se bat comme un homme

  When Lucius Vitellius went to war in a city, his wife, Triaria, followed him. She wanted his victory, and fought with him. Since it was night, the enemy was unprepared and drowsy. Triaria was armed with a sword and fought mercilessly, killing brutally and in great numbers. In the image, she is wearing a red gown and armor. She is holding a sword, about to swing it down onto an enemy. Around her is the rest of her husband’s army. Her victim lies on the ground, already impaled by a sword.

  Thisbe babilonienne vierge

  This image depicts a woman named Thisbe standing as she reads a book. Thisbe was a young Babylonian woman who fell in love with a man named Pyramus. Their families would not allow them to be together, which resulted in them devising a plan to run away together. The night they were meant to run away together, Pyramus found a blood-stained cloak that had belonged to Thisbe. He thought she had died, and he killed himself as a result. Thisbe was not dead, and her cloak was only blood-stained because a lioness had picked it up in her mouth which had blood on it. Thisbe found Pyramus dead, and she killed herself as well to be with him.

In the far background, Amelia Osborne is sitting alone in an armchair, looking forlornly at the others. Below the illustration is printed in cursive its title, A Family Party at Brighton.

  [Europeans are shipwrecked near the coast of Brazil, close to several European and Tupinambá settlements]

  A European ship – broken in half – sinks near the coast of Brazil. Several men swim towards shore, with many clinging to debris, where several survivors already stand near the water helping others onto land. There are several settlements, both Indigenous and European, near the shipwreck site: on nearby island St. Maro there is a European settlement and a fortification wall, on a second island, St. Vincetii, there are two settlements and several single dwellings. To the left is a Tupinambá village labelled 'Brikioka' and on the right is another called 'Itenge Ehm'. There is an unlabeled village close to where the European men have come ashore.

  [The Lilliputian Emperor addresses Gulliver]

  In this image the Lilliputian Emperor addresses Gulliver. The Emperor stands on a podium with two attendants. The Emperor holds his arms up during the speech. Gulliver is not in the image. The Emperor wears a form of turban with a large feather and a long cape that one of the attendants holds up. Behind the podium we see a line of Lilliputian militia men holding spears. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

The group dances around three men at the center of the circle. These men wear feathered headdresses, cloaks, and adornments around their waists. Two of them blow smoke from pipes towards the dancers, and all three hold a rattle or religious object with feathers on it. In the background, three European men stand and watch the ceremony.

  [Act IV] Celestina spreect teghen haer zelven gaende over wech

  Melibea’s servant Lucrecia spots Celestina as she approaches the house. Lucrecia opens the door to her and questions the purpose of her visit. Celestina explains that her sole intent is to sell some yarn and pay a visit to Melibea’s mother Alisa, an old acquaintance. Alisa grants her entry under this false pretense. Shortly thereafter, a page/servant arrives with a message on behalf of Alisa’s dying sister, requesting Alisa’s presence. Thus, Celestina is left alone with Melibea (and Lucrecia). Celestina circles around the true purpose of her visit, but when she finally reveals that she is there to cure Calisto’s affliction, Melibea is infuriated. Celestina lies and tells her that the cure only requires her girdle cord and a handwritten charm/spell, and this calms Melibea. She gives Celestina the girdle cord and asks her to return the following day to retrieve the spell.To the left of the image, we see Alisa leaving with her sister’s page/servant. She is shown in a robe and a veil, while he is wearing a hat. The two centre figures represent Melibea and Lucrecia, both of whom are wearing robes and veils. The dress worn by the right central figure appears to be a bit more decorative, and her face seems to express anger, both of which hint at the likelihood that this represents Melibea. The rightmost figure is Celestina, who is shown wearing a robe and a veil.The entire image is nearly identical to those found on pages 130 and 157 of the text. The composition is also wholly distinct from any of the illustrations found in the 1580 Antwerp edition.

  ein Sieb, eine Hofdame

  This image shows a sieve, which is the code word for a court lady. 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. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  [Method of starting a fire of the Indigenous Brazilians]

  An Indigenous man wearing a feathered headdress and ornament at his back starts a fire by twirling a long stick against a log on the ground. Another man, also wearing a feathered headdress and carrying a bow, watches and smokes a cigar (or similar item). Several women and children are also amongst the group, including a small child carried in a basket on a woman’s back and another child who carries a miniature bow and kneels on the ground to watch the fire starting. This illustration is a simplified and mirrored version of the one found on page 101 of Paris, 1557.
