  He came down to see the place

  Here we see Mr. Bingley arriving at Netherfield Park. The novel opens with the wealthy Mr. Bingley coming to Netherfield. The Bennett family became acquainted with Mr. Bingley, his sisters, and Mr. Darcy. In this image Mr. Bingley steps out of his carriage examining Netherfield for the first time. This scene occurs in chapter 1. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mr. Bingley wears a waistcoat and tailcoat and a 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.

  [Act XII (Second Illustration) – The Alguacil’s Men Knock on the Door as Sempronio Murders Celestina]

  Sempronio (figure with his sword raised) and Pármeno (rightmost figure) go to Celestina’s house. They ask Celestina (figure lying on the ground) to fulfill her promise and give them a share of the gold chain given to her by Calisto. She refuses, making up countless excuses and lies in order to escape her obligation. Sempronio draws his sword and threatens her, but she refuses to forfeit part of her reward and calls on Elicia (figure between Sempronio and Pármeno) for help. Sempronio begins striking her, and both she and Elicia scream in horror, calling for the alguacil’s men (the soldiers in the left panel of the illustration). Sempronio and Pármeno hear the men approaching the door and flee upstairs to the third storey. Realizing they have no other recourse for escape, they jump from the window.

  [Detail of the pattern of Laputan clothing]

  Gulliver describes Laputan clothing as having a motif that combined suns, moons, and stars, with various musical instruments, including violins, flutes, harps, trumpets, guitars, as well as other instruments that were not played in Europe. This image is a detail of that pattern. In the centre is the letter A, because it is the first letter of the word Als - the first word of the second chapter. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

  [a young Houyhnhnms]

  Here we see a child of the Houyhnhnms. 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. One of the issues discussed at these meetings are the regulations of children. This includes their redistribution between parents. For example, if one couple had two boys, and another had two girls, then the couples would switch one child, so each couple had one boy and one girl. Another example is when a child died, if the mother could no longer bear children, then another couple in the community will have a child to replace the deceased. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  Inside a structure, a group of Indigenous people tend to a sick man. The man stands in the middle of the group with his arms outstretched to either side. Two people each hold one of the sick man’s arms, with the person on the right touching his lips to the man’s arm. Another man stands behind the afflicted man and holds him by the shoulders.

There is a hammock slung between two beams of the structure behind the group, above them a monkey and a bird sit on another beam and a bow and bundles of arrows lie on the ground. This image is identical to one found on page 935 of Paris, 1575 (Chaudière), and in Thevet’s Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique (page 88 verso of Paris, 1557 and page 88 verso of Paris, 1558).

  Attended by their apothecaries stored with the proper medicines. - Page 228

  During his time on Balnibarbi Gulliver visited the Grand Academy of Lagado and the scholars who worked there. A proposal made by a doctor was to resolve political issues through treating politicians with various medicines. Through treating problems of the humours (a medical theory from the Ancient Greeks) then political disagreements could be easily resolved. In this image we see politicians sitting in parliament, with doctors standing nearby holding large bottles of medicines and needles.

  THE TRIUMPH OF CLYTEMNESTRA.

  Rebecca Crawley, dressed in a toga and holding a dagger in the character of Clytemnestra, curtseys slightly to his Royal Highness, the prince of Peterwaradin, as he bows and compliments her performance. Next to her is Mr. Bedwin Sands, dressed as a Turkish officer, and behind him Mrs. Winkworth, whose performance as Zuleikah had been the focus of admiration prior to Becky’s appearance.

  [Gulliver arrives in the Country of the Houyhnhnms]

  This image shows the Yahoos and a Houyhnhnm in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. In the foreground is Gulliver fighting a Yahoo – a native human of the Country of the Houyhnhnms that Gulliver comes to despise along with all other humans as he learns the virtues of the Houyhnhnms. The scene is Gulliver’s first encounter with the species who live on this island. Gulliver is attacked by a Yahoo, and a Houyhnhnm – a horse – comes to Gulliver’s rescue. The two humans are fighting in a river. The Yahoo attacking Gulliver is drawn quite differently than Gulliver. The Yahoo has pointed ears, unkempt hair, and a flatter face than Gulliver. A small Yahoo child is on the left, holding a bow and arrow, with small wings, referencing Cupid. This child is used to show readers the difference between the humans that Gulliver is used to in England, and those in the foreign land in which Gulliver finds himself. This reflects the prejudices held by Europeans against Native Americans. This image is the same as that in the 1762 German edition.
