  ein Nachttopf, einen Ausschuß von Lords

  This image shows a chamber pot, which is the code word for a committee of Lords. 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.

  [Gulliver is attacked by the Lilliputians]

  In this image we see Gulliver who has freed his left arm from the Lilliputian’s ties, attempting to stop the arrows of the Lilliputians. He is surrounded on all sides by the Lilliputians who are firing arrows at him. We see the shower of arrows in the air going towards Gulliver’s arm which is defending his face. Gulliver’s right hand and legs remain tied up. Gulliver’s hat lies behind his head, with a Lilliputian hiding behind it. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  The yahoos are a form of human who live in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver looks down on the yahoos, thinking of them as a form of inferior human, which is reflected in this image. The yahoo has long hair and a beard, has long fingernails, and does not wear clothes. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

  Fraile Merzenario Morva, Son tan Brabos y Justiciero y Maltrata a los Yndios y Haze Trauajar Con un Palo en Este Rreyno en las Dotrinas, No Ay Rremedio

  This image depicts a Mercedarian friar named Murúa abusing an indigenous woman. He is illustrated holding a stick in his right hand to beat the woman with. He is ordering her to weave. The woman is depicted squatting as she weaves at a loom. She has a frightened look on her face. The author heavily criticizes Mercedarian friars and Murúa specifically for abusing, robbing, forcing labour, and punishing the indigenous peoples of Peru. He was a prefect of the pueblo in Yanaca in the Aymaraes province and he heavily mistreated the indigenous peoples. This image reflects one of the many ways Murúa had treated the natives.

  [Claudia the Vestal Virgin]

  This image appears at the beginning of the story of the vestal virgin named Claudia. The story of Claudia, however, does not reflect the events in this image. This image depicts a woman and a man standing before two sitting elderly men as they appear to be discussing something of importance. Claudia’s story involves her saving her father from a group of plebeians who try to attack him during a tribune procession. The story and image do not seem to match.

  [Gulliver brings a boat onto Blefuscu]

  Here we see Gulliver bringing the small boat he found overturned onto shore in Blefuscu. Gulliver saw the boat offshore and with the help of the Blefuscudians he brought it to shore where he intended to refurbish it so then he could use it to get home. In this image we see Gulliver pulling the boat up onto the dock. Gulliver stands in the water, with his pants rolled up to his knees and is barefoot. He is aided by the Blefuscudians who pull on several ropes tied to the boat. These ropes were used to drag the boat behind a warship while Gulliver pushed it from behind to get it to shore. There is a large crowd of Blefuscudians – some of whom help get the boat on shore, while other simply watch the scene. The city is visible in the background. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.

  Obsèques solennelles de Poppée

  Poppaea died while pregnant when Nero kicked her. Refusing to have her cremated, he ordered that her funeral be very elaborate, like those of kings. She was embalmed and buried publicly. In the image, Poppaea’s body is seen being carted around by horses before she is buried. Her funeral was elaborate, and she is dressed in a nice gown and a crown.

  De Manthon hija de tiresias adevino de tebas

  This engraving depicts Manto, the daughter of the famous seer Tiresias. She is depicted with her body leaning over a burning fire. We know this figure is Manto as the creator engraved her name beside her head to identify her. Boccaccio explains that Manto became an incredible seer just like her father. She uses the movement and colour of the fire’s flames to tell the future, which is why there is a fire in the engraving. She also used the entrails of animals such as sheep and oxen for signs of the future. There is an ox and a sheep illustrated in the engraving with their organs protruding from their bodies. There are two distinct looking characters in the background of the engraving, which signifies Manto’s involvement in the dark arts in summoning spirits and gods from the underworld.
