  “Piling up the fire”

  In this image Mr. Bingley adds wood to the fire that Jane sits by. Jane was recovering from a bad cold she caught while on her way to Netherfield. She was not well enough to go home to Longbourn so she remained at Netherfield. Here, Jane has recovered enough to sit downstairs by the fire, where she relaxes with a pillow behind her head. Mr. Bingley, wanting to make sure she is comfortable, adds fuel to the fire so she does not get cold. This scene occurs in chapter 11. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Jane wears a regency style dress with an empire waistline. Mr. Bingley wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a 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). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.

  Nyobe regina Thebanorum

  This engraving depicts Niobe, the daughter of King Tantalus of Phrygia, on the right side of the engraving wearing a crown. Niobe became proud of the fact that she had more children than Latona, the mother of Diana and Apollo. As punishment for her hubris against the goddess, all of Niobe’s children had been killed by the plague. Her children are depicted dead in the centre of the engraving. Grieved by the loss of all their children, Niobe’s husband, King Amphion of Thebes, killed himself with a knife. Amphion is depicted on the left side of the engraving as he pierces his body with the knife.

  [Gulliver arrives in the city of Lagado in Balnibarbi]

  Gulliver left the floating island of Laputa to go to Balnibarbi. He arrives and goes into the city of Lagado. He says it is about the size of London, however, most of the buildings had fallen into disrepair. The people often wore rags, walking quickly through the streets. There was also a distinct lack of agriculture despite the good quality of the land. In this image we see some of the locals of Balnibarbi walking through the streets. In the background we see houses that are falling apart. For example, on the right hand side we see a house whose walls are not straight, but are bowing out, and rubble underneath the window.

They discuss the mistaken fact that she is still a virgin, and Alisa points out that she has probably never considered having a male companion. Melibea grows frustrated with their presumption that she is ignorant, and she orders Lucrecia (rightmost figure) to interrupt the conversation.
