  [Gulliver builds a boat to leave the Country of the Houyhnhnms with the help of the Sorrel Nag]

  Here we see Gulliver and the Sorrel Nag building a boat that Gulliver would use to leave the Country of the Houyhnhnms. The Council of the Houyhnhnms told his master that Gulliver either had to live with the yahoos or return to Europe but could not live with the Houyhnhnms any longer. Gulliver was shocked by this, and decided he had to leave rather than live with the yahoos. Gulliver was given two months to build a boat to leave the country.

  Clytemnestra der Künigin Micenarum

  Queen Clytemnestra of Mycenae is depicted on the right side of the engraving putting a sweater on her husband, Agamemnon. The person sneaking up beside Clytemnestra is the person she has been having an affair with: Aegisthus. Aegisthus and Clytemnestra conjured a plan to kill Clytemnestra’s husband, King Agamemnon, in order to gain control of Mycenae. Clytemnestra gave Agamemnon a piece of clothing that had no neck hole. As he struggled with the garment, the adulterer Aegisthus pierced Agamemnon with a sword, as depicted in the image. Orestes, the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, sought to avenge his father’s death. He is depicted on the left side of the engraving killing both his mother and Aegisthus while they share an embrace.

  And see how the children go on.

  In this image Elinor and Marianne walk through the streets of Barton and speak with the children there. This scene occurs while Marianne and Elinor talk about what they will do once Marianne has fully recovered from her illness. This scene occurs in chapter 46. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Marianne and Elinor wear regency style dresses with empire waists. They wear bonnets and carry muffs. 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.

  Von Circe der sunnen tochter

  This engraving depicts Circe, the daughter of the Sun, on the right side of the engraving. We know that this is Circe as her name is engraved beside her body. Boccaccio explains that Circe was skilled in the art of magic and would often turn people who landed on her shores into animals. When Ulysses and his men happened upon Circe, she transformed Ulysses’ companions into beasts. They are depicted in the engraving with their bodies still in human form, while their heads are changed into animals such as lions and pigs. Ulysses is the one man among them that is still in human form (his name is engraved above his head). Ulysses threatens Circe with his sword, and she eventually changes his companions back into their original forms.

  Here we see Gulliver in his boat, preparing to leave Blefuscu and return to England. Gulliver found an abandoned boat off the shore of Blefuscu and he refurbished it and sailed away and was eventually picked up by a larger ship. Five hundred workers were tasked with making sails, and between ten and thirty cables were twisted together to make rope for the boat. Gulliver made masts, rudders, and oars out of trees, and water-sealed the boat with fat from three hundred oxen. Gulliver was given provisions by the Emperor and he set sail.
