  El Qvinto Capitan Avqvi Topa Inga Ivpanqvi

  This illustration depicts the fourth captain, Auqui Topa Inca Yupanqui. These captains were a level of Inca authority who helped lead the conquest of the Andes. This captain was the son of Capac Yupanqui, the fifth king of the Inca Empire. This image depicts the captain kneeling on the right side of the image as he presents a decapitated head of an enemy to his father. The king is depicted standing on the left side of the image looking down at his son as he holds a staff in one hand and pointing to the decapitated head with the other. His name is written beside his head to identify him. The words “hasta quichiua aymara” are written below the king’s feet, which translates to “until Quechua Aymara.” This refers to the captain’s conquest of the provinces of the Quechua and Aymara speaking people.

  [Gulliver squeezes through narrow streets of Mildendo]

  In this image we see Gulliver walking sideways between buildings in the Lilliputian city of Mildendo. The street where Gulliver is walking is likely a residential street, since it is considerably narrower than the main street seen on page 55, meaning Gulliver must walk sideways to fit down the street. Lilliputian residents are leaning out their windows, standing on their balconies, and on the roofs to get a look at Gulliver, who is a giant to them. Some Lilliputians children are still on the street and their mother rushes them inside to get out of Gulliver’s way. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

Proba is renowned for her intellect and extensive knowledge of literature including works from Virgil. Proba had taken lines from the Aeneid, Bucolics, and the Georgics and transformed them into a cento focusing on the Old and New Testaments. Proba was said to have known the Scriptures by memory, which was something not even many men were able to do.

  “Tosses them up to the ceiling”

  Here we see Mr. Knightley playing with his nephews, tossing one of his nephews into the air. Emma’s sister, Isabella, sits in front of Mr. Knightley. Isabella married Mr. Knightley’s younger brother, Mr. John Knightley. Mr. Woodhouse was always concerned that he played too rough with the boys, but Emma reassured him that they enjoyed it. This scene occurs in chapter 9. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, with Isabella wearing a regency style dress with an empire waist. Mr. Knightley wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, with a cravat. The young boys wear short coats and breeches. 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 image appears at the end of the book. It depicts man, presumably Giovanni Boccaccio, the author of the book, sitting in his study reading a book which is resting on a lectern. There are other books on a shelf in the background of the image. Giovanni Boccaccio was around forty-eight years old when he compiled the stories of the women in the book, which is why he looks slightly older in age in the image.

  “Oh, Mr. Knightley, one moment more”

  In this image Miss Bates leans out the window speaking to Mr. Knightley who was on horseback. Miss Bates saw him passing the house and, not wanting to cause a chill by opening the window in the drawing room where a group was gathered, went into another room to speak with him through the window. Miss Bates asked him to come in but he said he could not because he was on his way to Kingston. This scene occurs in chapter 27. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Miss Bates wears the regency style dress with an empire waist. Mr. Knightley wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, with a cravat and 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).

  [Gulliver demonstrates his pistol]

  Here we see Gulliver’s hand immediately after firing his pistol as a demonstration for the Lilliputians. A cloud of smoke comes from the pistol, while the Lilliputians cower in fear.

The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
