  Ceremonies com[m]e ils enterrent les trespassez.

  A group of Indigenous people are in the process of burying the body of a deceased man. The body has been bound with rope about the arms and wrists and has been placed into the grave in a kneeling position. Two men kneel on either side of the grave each gripping one of the deceased man’s arms and holding a basket over his head. Two different men shovel dirt into the grave, and a third stands at the head of the grave holding a rattle or ornament and wearing a feathered headdress. Three women, one with a child by her side, crouch around the grave with their hands over their faces in distress, and there are bows and a club on the ground near their feet, perhaps to be buried with the deceased. This image is identical to one found on page 926 of Paris, 1575 (l’Huillier), and in Thevet’s Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique (page 82 verso of Paris, 1557 and page 82 verso of Paris, 1558).

  The efforts of his aunt

  In this image Mr. Darcy speaks with his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Lady Catherine tried to persuade Mr. Darcy not to propose to Elizabeth. Lady Catherine wanted Mr. Darcy to marry her daughter, Mr. Darcy’s cousin. Lady Catherine planned the marriage between Miss de Bourgh and Mr. Darcy since their infancy. Mr. Darcy refused this engagement, firm in his conviction that he was going to marry Elizabeth. This scene occurs in chapter 58. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Lady Catherine wears a regency dress with an empire waist. She wears an overcoat and bonnet and holds a walking stick. Mr. Darcy wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a cravat. 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.

  [Gulliver shudders at his own reflection]

  During his time on the Country of the Houyhnhnms, Gulliver began to hate all humans, because he viewed the Houyhnhnms to be superior beings, while the yahoos were inferior. It got to the point where Gulliver began to hate his own reflection because he looked like the yahoos. This sentiment stuck with Gulliver even after he returned home to England, and he could never look at a human the same way. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

  Von Ypermestra der künigin in kriechen lande und Junonis der göttin priester

  Hypermnestra and her husband, Linus, are illustrated on the edge of the bed on the left side of the engraving. We know these figures are Hypermnestra and Linus as their names are engraved above their heads. Hypermnestra is depicted with her arm lovingly touching Linus’ chest. As Boccaccio explains, a prophecy told Hypermnestra’s father that one of his nephews would kill him, so he married all his daughters to his nephews and instructed them to kill their new grooms to avoid this prophecy from happening. Hypermnestra, however, fell in love with her cousin Linus. Hypermnestra instructs him to leave to avoid her father and sisters from killing him. One of her sisters is depicted lying in the bed behind her, already having killed her husband, along with the other husbands that have been murdered.

  ein Besen, eine Revolution

  This image shows a broom, which is the code word for a revolution. 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 1843 Krabbe edition.
