A physical map of the Iberian Peninsula, showing mountain ranges, rivers, and cities, and naming the kingdoms as they would have existed at the time of the Cid.
This engraving depicts Olympias of Macedonia on the left side of the engraving approaching a man hanging on a cross. The man being crucified is Pausanias, a man who helped Olympias with the murder of King Philip of Macedon (husband to Olympias). Boccaccio explains that Olympias placed the golden crown that Pausanias is wearing on his head to honour him and reward him for the assassination. Along with getting her husband murdered, she also had her husband’s new wife and child murdered out of anger. Cleopatra, King Philips other wife, is pictured on the right side of the engraving hanging by her neck on a tree. Cleopatra’s child is depicted sitting on the ground as one of Olympias’ servants is bashing her head with a rock.
In this image Sir William Lucas sits at Longbourn, announcing the engagement between his daughter, Charlotte, and Mr. Collins. Mrs. Bennet and Lydia both rudely exclaim that they cannot believe it and that he must be mistaken. By Charlotte’s marrying Mr. Collins it meant that she would become the mistress of Longbourn after Mr. Bennet’s death, because at this time inheritance passed from one man to his closest male relative, who was Mr. Collins. This scene occurs in chapter 23. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mrs. Bennet and her daughters wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. Sir William Lucas wears a waistcoat and tailcoat. 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.
Here we see Gulliver stuck in the hollowed-out marrow of a bone. The Queen of Brobdingnag’s dwarf stuck Gulliver into the bone because he was jealous that Gulliver replaced him as the Queen’s favourite. In the image we see Gulliver stuck in the bone with only his head sticking out of the bone. The bone sits on a platter with other leaves and food. The dwarf’s face is visible in the background. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
A group of Indigenous Tupinambá people is shown preparing to execute a captive man. The captive man is restrained by a rope tied around his waist, with two men holding either end of the rope, and his hand is raised in a gesture of protest against his impending death.

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.

As midnight approaches, Calisto (central figure), Sempronio (leftmost figure), and Pármeno (left-central figure) leave for Melibea’s house. Calisto asks Pármeno to knock on her door, but Pármeno replies that it would be best if his was the first voice she heard. When Calisto knocks, he is first greeted by Lucrecia (rightmost figure?), who confirms his identity. Calisto and Melibea (right-central figure; only her shoulder and headpiece are showing) talk for some time through the door, but soon Pármeno and Sempronio hear a commotion in the distance and flee. They realize the noise is coming from the alguacil’s (justice’s) men patrolling another street, and they head back toward Melibea’s house. However, the alguacil’s men soon enter upon the street where Melibea’s house lies, causing Calisto and his servants to flee to Calisto’s house. While Calisto takes his rest, Sempronio and Pármeno decide to pay Celestina a visit.
Gulliver waved his arms at the floating island of Laputa and got the attention of a few Laputans and soon a crowd assembled to see Gulliver. They lowered a chair down then raised Gulliver up to the island on the chair using a pulley system, as is seen here. Gulliver is raised up over the rocks and arrives on Laputa. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
Every four years a representative council of the Houyhnhnms meets in a large plain about twenty miles from the house where Gulliver was staying. They discuss the conditions of the different districts of the country. This includes anything that a district is lacking, including hay or oats, as well as the regulation of children. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
A Nightingale offered to a Sparrow hawk, who had just taken him, to employ him entirely at his service, the life which he asked of him. The Sparrow hawk at these offers let go a little of his talons, inquiring how he could be useful to him? I am making, replied the Nightingale, a thousand little songs, which I will entertain you with. This is not for the present to my taste, cried the Sparrow hawk, tearing him to pieces, for I love music only after I have eaten well.
