In a forest, a pack of wolves are sniffing the ground and looking for food. In foreground, there is one wolf on the left lower corner sniffing the ground in front of a small tree. In the background, on a piece of higher ground, a wolf sniffs from the hand of a man. Next to that man are two more animals sniffing the ground. Trees are behind them, giving way to an open sky.
A fisherman holding a fishing rod is standing outside next to a river. The man is holding a fish in his left hand. Two more fish are swimming in the river.
This engraving depicts the prostitute Leaena being tortured for information regarding a conspiracy. She is depicted with her hands bound by rope, which is attached to some form of torturing device that a man is controlling on the right side of the engraving. She is also depicted standing in a burning fire as another torturing method. Boccaccio explains that she is being tortured for being involved in a conspiracy to overthrow a tyrant. In order to avoid revealing information to those torturing her, she bites off her own tongue. The two figures on the left side are the ones attempting to get information regarding the conspiracy from Leaena.
Shortly after Gulliver set sail again, his ship was overtaken by two Dutch pirate ships. The Dutch and the English were rivals, despite both being members of the Grand Alliance against the French. Gulliver first begs the Dutch captain for mercy, saying that since they were both Christians he and the crew should be spared, playing off of Dutch religious toleration. The Dutchman rejected this, however the Captain of the second ship intervened. The second captain was Japanese and spared Gulliver and his crew. Gulliver chided the Dutchman for having less mercy for a fellow Christian than did a Japanese man. The Dutchman then argued to the Japanese that Gulliver should be killed, but the Japanese captain refused to go back on his word. However, for Gulliver’s insolence, he was set adrift alone with only enough provisions for four days. In this image we see Gulliver pleading with the Japanese captain to spare him, while the rest of the crew bows on their knees, asking to be spared. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
Here Jane kneels in front of her bed, praying. This scene occurs while at Moor House. She had visions of Mr. Rochester, that ultimately convinced her to return to Thornfield. She prayed for an answer about what to do about these visions where she would hear Mr. Rochester calling her name.
An Indigenous man and woman cook food in a large earthen pot over a fire. The woman holds a ladle, and the man kneels on the ground and fans the flames under the pot. Inside the pot a fish is identifiable, amongst other foods. Both individuals wear a fringed garment tied around their waist, and the man has a single feather in his hair.
In the foreground and to the left, we see a female figure knocking on the door to a house. Her long veil and slightly more aged appearance indicate that this is meant to represent Celestina. In her left hand she is holding either a lantern or a bag. In the foreground and to the right, we see a male figure (perhaps Calisto) walking toward the house with a horse. A figure (perhaps Melibea) watches from a window above (top left corner), and two other figures (perhaps Melibea’s parents Alisa and Pleberio) watch from a balcony.The entire image is identical to the one found on page 13 of the text.
This illuminated image depicts the Orithya and Antiope, sister queens of the Amazons. They are illustrated wearing chest plates for armour and holding what appears to be either scepters or spears in their hands. The queen on the right side of the image is holding a girdle in her right hand. This girdle ends up being one of Hercules’ twelve labours.
Here Gulliver stands on a table, speaking to Glumdalclitch, who became Gulliver’s nurse. Glumdalclitch sits on the floor reading to Gulliver. Glumdalclitch was the daughter of the farmer who found Gulliver, and she accompanied him when Gulliver went to live with the King and Queen of Brobdingnag.
In this image John Dashwood is introduced to Mrs. Jennings. Elinor and Marianne went to the shops to sell some of their mother’s old jewels. Mrs. Jenning had to run another errand across the street and told them she would meet them back at the carriage. Elinor and Marianne met their half-brother John Dashwood and he walked them back to the carriage where he was introduced to Mrs. Jennings. This scene occurs in chapter 33. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Marianne, Elinor, and Mrs. Jennings wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines and wear bonnets. John Dashwood wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches, a cravat and raises his top hat. 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.
This engraving depicts a story of a young Roman woman who saved her mother from starving to death. Boccaccio explains that this unknown woman’s mother had been sentenced to death, and when she was locked away to die of starvation, her daughter saved her with her own breast milk. The girl and her mother are depicted behind the window of the jail cell as the mother drinks the milk of her daughter’s breast. The men that are standing guard outside the prison cell seem unconcerned and relaxed. They are unsuspecting of the young woman because they searched her every time that she visited her mother and she never seemed to carried food with her. The young woman saved her mother’s life through her breast milk, and Boccaccio explains that he wrote on this unknown young woman due to her filial devotion.
An Indigenous woman, a chief, is pictured standing on the bank of a river. Her hair is knotted at the nape of her neck, she wears several strands of beads around her neck, and her right wrist is cradled in the beads. She wears a fringed skirt around her waist and is topless and shoeless. She holds a large pot/container in her left hand. Beside her is a child, nude except for two strands of beads around their neck. The child holds a doll dressed like an English lady in one hand, and an object similar to a rattle in the other. Behind the pair, other Indigenous people are seen in canoes.
While Gulliver was walking through the garden the gardener's dog picked up Gulliver in his mouth, before the gardener returned and rescued Gulliver. In the image we see Gulliver lying between the dog’s teeth. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
On the right side of the image there is a person who is being bitten by a snake and is in distress. On the left side of the image there is a man who appears dazed, hunched over and grabbing the bottom of his robe.
Two men stand in the middle of the engraving. The man on the left appears to be a religious official and carries a long, weaved rope in his right hand. The man to his left, Aesop, gestures with his hands while talking.
The image shows a couple wolves taking over a foxes den with a dead fox laying upside down in the back of the den. There’s a couple of trees and small hills in the background of the image.
In this image Mr. Collins calls on Lady Catherine de Bourgh and her niece. Mr. Collins came to call after hearing of Lydia’s running away with Mr. Wickham. He then wrote to the Bennets to offers his condolences, spending the majority of his time talking about how Lydia’s behaviour threatens her sister’s prospects. In this letter Mr. Collins relates that Lady Catherine agrees with him. This scene occurs in chapter 48. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Lady Catherine and her niece wear regency dresses with empire waistlines. Lady Catherine wears an elaborate bonnet. Mr. Collins 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.
An Indigenous man has been taken captive by another Indigenous group and is about to be executed. He is restrained by a rope tied around his waist, with each end of the rope held taut. The captive gestures emphatically with one arm, perhaps in admonishment. Another man stands in front of him holding a club raised over his head, poised to swing. A woman and child lie prostrate on the ground behind the captive. Groups of people stand on either side of the captive to watch the execution, most of the men holding bows, clubs, and/or shields. Several structures are visible in the background. This image is identical to one found on page 945 verso of Paris, 1575 (l’Huillier).
Gulliver explains how war works in Europe to his Master. Gulliver describes cannons, muskets, pistols, bullets, gunpowder, bayonets, sieges, battles, retreats, attacks, bombardments, sea battles, horses’ roles on the battlefield, and the various ways soldiers die on the battlefield. Several of these elements are shown in this image, including naval warfare, cannons, soldier’s deaths. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
After breaking off her engagement to Mr. Rochester, Jane fled north as far as she could before she ran out of money. She arrived at the Moors of England when she could no longer afford a carriage. She slept outside for two days and two nights, before arriving at Moor House. During this time, she had to beg for food. Here she asks a young girl for her leftover porridge she was going to give to a pig.
