  [a donkey]

  Here we see an image of a donkey. It appears when the Council of the Houyhnhnms discussed the possibility of exterminating the yahoos. One of the reasons for this was to correct the mistake of the Houyhnhnms ancestors, who failed to breed donkeys which were more hygienic and had better agility than the yahoos. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  [Gulliver meets the King of Laputa]

  Here we see Gulliver meeting the King of Laputa. When Gulliver and his escorts arrive at court, the King is seated in his throne with a table in front of him. On the table are a variety of mathematical instruments and globes. The King has his head in hands and is deep in thought trying to work out a problem. Gulliver tells us that despite the noise they made when they entered, Gulliver stood before the King for an hour before the King worked out his problem. On either side of the King are pages, both of whom hold bladders. Once the King had solved his problem the two pages got the King’s attention by gently tapping him with the bladders, one on his right ear and the other on his mouth. This got the King’s attention and he looked at Gulliver, reminded of Gulliver’s arrival, of which he had already been informed. The King spoke to Gulliver, and Gulliver waved away the Flapper who tried to tap him, indicating he could hear the King. In this image, Gulliver has his arms crossed, leaning forward, waiting for the King to notice him. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

  Junone regnorum dea

  This engraving illustrates the importance that the goddess Juno holds to the city of Samos. The background of the engraving illustrates a temple which was erected in the goddess’ honour. In the foreground of the engraving, there is a marble statue of Juno dressed in her wedding attire. There are people standing in front of the statue of Juno, most likely engaging in a wedding ceremony as Juno is a goddess of marriage. Boccaccio explains that Juno was sent to live in Samos during her early childhood years until she hit puberty and married her brother Jupiter. The people of Samos built the temple and statue to honour their connection to the goddess.

  “They entered the breakfast-room”

  In this image Kitty and Lydia usher Charlotte Lucas into the breakfast room at Longborn. Charlotte Lucas was Lizzy’s best friend, and came over just after Mr. Collins proposed. Kitty and Lydia met her in the vestibule and brought her into the breakfast room telling Charlotte what had transpired between Lizzy and Mr. Collins. This scene occurs in chapter 20. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Kitty, Lydia, and Charlotte Lucas wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. Charlotte Lucas wears a bonnet and carries a parasol, both to protect her face from the sun. 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.

  Von Manthone

  This engraving depicts Manto, the daughter of the famous seer Tiresias. She is depicted with her body leaning over a burning fire and looking at a creature with the head of a boar. Boccaccio explains that Manto became an incredible seer just like her father. She used the movement and colour of the fire’s flames to tell the future, which is why there is a fire in the engraving. She also used the entrails of animals such as sheep and oxen for signs of the future. There is an ox on the right side of the image and a sheep on the left, both dead. The ox has its organs sticking out from its body. The distinct looking creature that Manto is looking at represents her involvement in the dark arts and summoning spirits and gods from the underworld.

  While Pármeno accompanies Celestina (central figure) home, Celestina persuades him to help her scam Calisto. In exchange for his loyalty, he asks for Celestina’s prostitute Areusa, whom he loves. Celestina agrees, and they go to Areusa’s house. Celestina tells Pármeno to wait at the bottom of the stairs while she goes to Areusa’s bedroom (we see him waiting in the doorway to the left). Celestina tries to convince Areusa to give Pármeno a chance (as seen in the foreground), but she eventually calls him to Areusa’s room without agreement from Areusa.

  Von Nicaula

  This engraving depicts Nicaula, the queen of Ethiopia, on the right side of the engraving shaking hands with king Solomon of Jerusalem. We know that these figures are Nicaula and Solomon as their names are engraved beside their heads. Nicaula, as Boccaccio explains, was incredibly wise and wanted to hear and listen to the wisdom and intellect of Solomon. She had traveled from Ethiopia to Jerusalem to meet him. This engraving depicts their first meeting. Behind Nicaula is presumably one of her servants, who is carrying a balsam tree. The tree was one of many gifts that Nicaula had given to Solomon.
