In this image, we see Gulliver standing next to a door of the castle smoking a pipe while talking to a Lilliputian. Gulliver’s size is shown by the height difference between the door and Gulliver. Gulliver holds a pipe in his right hand, and a Lilliputian in his left hand. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
In the foreground on the right lies a bear with its head leaning up against a tree with its tongue hanging out in exhaustion. Behind the bear on the left side is the lion laying on the ground also seemingly in exhaustion. In the back of the image a small fox can be seen carrying a limp deer in its mouth through the forest dragging it across the ground.
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. The two men depicted in the image are a Corregidor [Magistrate] and an Encomendero [Trustee] who appear to be arguing over a large sum of money on the table in front of them. They are dressed in traditional European clothing. The author criticizes these government officials by saying they lack respect for the indigenous peoples of Peru and exploit their labour.

This illumination depicts a Dripetrua at a dinner table with her father, King Mithridates of Pontus. They are both depicted wearing crowns. Boccaccio explains that Dripetrua was born with two sets of teeth and was incredibly hideous, however, she was also very devoted to her father, which deserved praise.
Here we see Mr. Grant going out in the rain with an umbrella to compel Fanny to come into the Parsonage. Fanny went into town on an errand for her aunts and got caught in the rain. She took shelter underneath a tree by the Parsonage. Mrs. Grant and Miss Crawford tried to convince her to come in and visit with them while she waited for the rain to pass, but she refused, not wanting to visit with them and be an inconvenience. Mr. Grant finally came outside and convinced her to come in. She waited with Miss Crawford until the rain passed. Fanny spent most of the visit watching the window for the rain to pass, wanting to leave as soon as the sky cleared. Miss Crawford entertained them by playing her harp for Fanny, who had never heard her play. This scene occurs in chapter 22. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny wears the regency style dress with an empire waist and a cloak. Her hair is worn tied up and wears a bonnet. Mr. Grant wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, and knickers that stop at the knee. 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 illustration depicts the eighth captain, Apo Camac Inca. These captains were a level of Inca authority who helped lead the conquest of the Andes. This captain was the son of Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, the king of the Inca Empire. This captain is depicted leading an army on the right side of the image as they face their enemies. The author explains that Apo Camac Inca lead 50,000 soldiers to conquer Chile. The words “yndios de chile” is written below the soldiers on the left-hand side of the image to identify them as the “Indians of Chile.” The author explains that the captain and his soldiers killed over 150,000 Chileans and starved them out for ten years in order to conquer the entire country.

A small sleigh bed that Glumdalclitch made for Gulliver is in the foreground, with Gulliver’s clothes lying on the ground. Glumdalclitch wears a dress with laces in the front, and a cap with her hair coming out from the bottom. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
This illustration depicts Julia, daughter of Julius Caesar, kneeling in despair after seeing the blood-stained cloak in front of her which is being held by a servant. The blood-stained cloak belongs to her husband, Pompey the Great. After seeing the blood on the cloak, Julia believed her husband must have been violently murdered. Pompey was sacrificing an animal, and when his clothes got stained by the animal's blood, a servant took his dirty clothes away to get new ones. The servant happened to pass by Julia while holding the cloak stained with animal blood. Before the servant can explain that it is not her husband’s blood, Julia falls to the ground and dies.
George Osborne stands facing the fireplace with one leg resting on a wooden chair, smoking a cigar which he has lit using a love letter from Amelia Sedley.

The other is Dobbin, seated in an armchair over which a portrait of a woman hangs, looking shocked. Below the illustration is printed its title and location in the story, “LIEUTENANT OSBORNE AND HIS ARDENT LOVE LETTERS. (p. 60.)”.

This image depicts the royal audience of Lima, the ruling body of Spanish colonial Peru. There are three men sitting on each side of a staircase with one man sitting at the top. They are all dressed in traditional European/Spanish clothing. The author explains that the governors rarely favour or care for the indigenous peoples of Peru. The large caption written at the bottom of the image reads, “que para el buen govierno a de auer un letrado y dos protetores que partan el salario y dos proquradores y u[n] lengua y u[na] persona que sepa la lengua y haga en borra[dor] memoriales para que entienda el letrado protetores y an[...] y no le [...] pitici[o]nas ni le [...]” [for good government there should be a learned advocate, two defenders who shall share a salary, two attorneys, an interpreter, and another person fluent in the [Quechua] language who can draw up memoranda for the use of the advocate, the defenders, and […] petitions, nor […]].
A group of Inca people in Peru bury one of their Emperors. They have dug a large, rectangular hole in the ground for the burial. The body of the Emperor has been laid out along one side of the grave, and the rest of the space is filled with food, jewelry, and gold and silver ornaments and vessels. A man kneeling in the grave lays down a feathered cloak or blanket. A large group of mourners gather along one side of the burial, many holding their hands clasped together. Several individuals wear feathered cloaks or skirts, including a woman kneeling in the grave. In the distance, a walled city is visible. This image is identical to one found on page 26 (161) of Frankfurt, 1596.
This engraving depicts Berenice, the queen of Cappadocia, stabbing a servant in his abdominal area to avenge her sons’ deaths. After her sons had died at the hand of her brother, Mithridates, Berenice sought vengeance against him. The slave that Berenice is stabbing in this engraving is Caenus, a man who was involved in the murder of her sons. Although she is depicted stabbing him with a sword in this engraving, Boccaccio explains in his story that she actually chased Caenus down in a chariot, and after hitting him in the head with a rock, she drove over his body with the chariot until he died. The dead figures in the engraving who are lying on the ground are assumed to be Berenice’s children.
A large group of Tupinambá Indigenous people canoe near the coast of Brazil. Fourteen canoes are shown, all full of three to five individuals. In the distance, a settlement can be seen on land close to the shore.
This illustration depicts two different scenes. In the background on the left side, there is a man illustrated on his hands and knees in the Numicius River, looking down as if he is in pain. This man is Aeneas, a Trojan hero. He had been taking part in a war which resulted in injuries that caused his death near this river. Before dying, his wife Lavinia gave birth to their son, Postumus. Lavinia is illustrated in the foreground of the image hiding in the woods as she gives birth. She is holding onto a tree for support as her new born child emerges from under her dress.
