In this image Lizzy, Jane, Mary, and Lydia discuss Mr. Wickham and the other military men who were staying in Meryton. They get ready for a dinner where they will see the soldiers. Mary yawns because she took no interest in the soldiers or finding a husband. This scene occurs in chapter 16. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Lizzy, Jane, Kitty, and Lydia wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines and their hair tied up. 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.

The Cid’s pet lion has escaped from its handlers and broken into a room in which the Cid was sleeping. Others were also in the room with him, including the two Infantes, who upon seeing the lion fled, hid, and soiled themselves. The other occupants acted more bravely and prepared to defend the Cid, but fortunately the Cid woke up. Upon hearing his voice, the lion stopped and allowed himself to be led back to his cage. The Infantes were mocked by the rest of their court for their conduct in this, and though the Cid did not personally fault them they blamed him for this, leading to future retribution against him by way of his daughters, to whom they were married.
A cock and its 3 mistress pullets raked upon a hill. He discovered a jewel under the sunlight. Ingoraned, he expressed himself by bending down to attract pullets' attention.
On an especially warm day, Gulliver decided to bathe in the river while on a walk with the Sorrel Nag who was Gulliver’s protector. While Gulliver bathed the nag grazed nearby. A female yahoo watched Gulliver bathe and jumped into the water and embraced him from behind, scaring Gulliver. The nag returned and scared the yahoo away from Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
Here we see a variety of mathematical instruments that were used on Laputa. This image comes at the beginning of chapter four, in which Gulliver leaves Laputa to travel to Balnibarbi, because the only things that the Laputans were interested in was mathematics and music, neither of which Gulliver was particularly interested nor skilled in. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

A group of Tupinambá people – four women and a man – gather around a deceased man who lays in a hammock. Two women crouch beside the hammock with their hands over their faces in distress. Behind the hammock, two more women hold each other by the shoulders as they mourn, and a man stands behind them holding a rattle or ornament with one hand and wiping his face with the other. Both the deceased and living man have a facial adornment on their chin.
A man can be found laying below what seems to be a cliff above grass. Another man with a distressed look on his face stands at the top of the cliff, and is reaching out as to catch the man. Three men towards the left-hand side of the image onlook.

Here Gulliver meets a frog who accidentally got into the trough in which Gulliver sailed for the entertainment of the court of Brobdingnag. The trough was built so that Gulliver could sail and entertain the courtiers, and the water was changed every three days. The frog got in when the water was being changed and climbed into Gulliver’s boat. In the image we see the frog’s head comes out of the water, and Gulliver fends him off with a stick while in the ship. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
The illustration depicts a scene which might have been part of the story if it was written in a different style. Mademoiselle Anastasie holds in her hand the letter from Marquis Osbourne, which Lady Amelia reaches for eagerly. On the wall behind the two is a portrait of the Marquis, and in the background to the left of the image his ‘petit tigre’ is looking back over his shoulder at them as he departs.
In his conversations with past Kings and Queens on Glubbdubdrib, Gulliver learns of the corruption of the throne. He was told on several occasions of corruption of the court. He was even told that virtue only slowed business down, and corruption was the only way to keep the throne working. In this image we see a Queen sitting on a throne whose back is made of snakeskin, while a courtier kneels in front of her, offering his hand. In the background we see a baby wearing a crown and holding a sceptre. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
A countryman stands in the middle of a forest. He is standing with his legs apart, slightly bent at the knee. He is bracing both his hands on his hips. He has a pocketknife on his right hip and what looks like the blade of an axe on the left one. The image shows him from the back, but a pipe is seen sticking out from his mouth-area. To the right of the countryman, a hut is made of tree branches and wood. A fox is peaking its head out of the hut, looking in the same direction as the countryman. They are both looking at three tree trunks. The trees have been cut down. In the foreground, lower right corner, a tree stump lies on the ground with an axe stuck in it.
After Melibea takes her own life, her father Pleberio (central figure) is immersed in despondency. He goes to his bedchamber and informs his wife, Alisa (rightmost figure), of the death of their daughter. Alisa does not utter a word in this act. Based on Pleberio’s implorations for Alisa to help him deal with his sorrow, and his questioning whether she has joined Melibea in the afterlife, we can presume that Alisa has fainted. In the background to the left, we see a female figure, presumably Lucrecia.
