Most of the author’s images have titles, but the damage at the top of this page has ruined the header. This image depicts an indigenous Christian woman kneeling and praying before a crucifix. She is holding a rosary in her hands. There is a pile of bones in front of the crucifix with a skull on the top of the pile. There is a window in the top right corner with the dove of the holy spirit flying through it. The woman is dressed in traditional clothing with a long dress that is embroidered at the waist and has a cloak draped over her shoulders. This image is in a section of the book where the author aims to highlight the Christianity of the indigenous commoners in Spanish colonial Peru. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “cristiana” [Christian].
At the Council of the Houyhnhnms, the council discussed the possibility of exterminating yahoos. Some of the reasons for the possible extermination of the yahoos were that they drank directly from cow’s udders, trample on oats and wheat, and would kill and eat their cats. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
After arriving on Balnibarbi, Gulliver sees the floating island of Laputa for the first time. Gulliver first noticed it after it blocked the sun, causing him to look up and see the island. He shields his eyes as the bottom was reflecting from the water below and was very bright. The island floats and would move around, hovering over Balnibarbi. In this image we see Gulliver looking up at the island, which was semi-circular with a city on top, and the underside was totally flat. We also see Gulliver’s boat in the water next to him. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

Two Indigenous men and a child stand around an ahouai tree (as named by the author, today known as thevetia ahouai). The man on the left threads the items harvested from the tree (dried fruit or nuts) onto a string to make a leg rattle, like those worn by the man on the right. The man on the right dances with one hand on his hip, wearing leg rattles and holding a maraca or religious item in the other hand. Both men wear feathered headdresses. This image is identical to one found on page 922 of Paris 1575 (l’Huillier), and in Thevet’s Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique (page 66 verso of Paris 1557, page 66 verso of Paris 1558).
Here we see Gulliver and the Sorrel Nag building a boat that Gulliver would use to leave the Country of the Houyhnhnms. The Council of the Houyhnhnms told his master that Gulliver either had to live with the yahoos or return to Europe but could not live with the Houyhnhnms any longer. Gulliver was shocked by this, and decided he had to leave rather than live with the yahoos. Gulliver was given two months to build a boat to leave the country. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
