An aerial view of an island is shown, identified as Ile de la Trinité by the author (today known as the island Trinidad, of Trinidad and Tobago). Near the ‘bottom’ of the island there are two groups of Indigenous people engaged in conflict. One group stands on land defending themselves with spears, bows and arrows and shields, while the other group attacks from a rowboat or canoe on the water, also with bows and arrows and spears. Two pairs of people fish from canoes in the bottom and top right corners. Across the island, another pair of individuals fish on the left side, two others spar together on the right, and others cook around a large pot in the middle. There are several structures scattered over the island. This image is identical to one found on page 961 verso of Paris, 1575 (Chaudière).
In this image Jane sits on a horse preparing to go to dine at Netherfield Park. Mrs. Bennet stands next to the horse. A letter arrives at Longbourn from Caroline Bingley inviting her to visit Netherfield Park, and Mrs. Bennet decides to send Jane on horseback, even though it will rain so that Jane will have to spend the night at Netherfield. This scene occurs in chapter 7. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Jane and Mrs. Bingley wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. Jane wears a bonnet and a riding habit over her dress. 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.
A man stands over his dog. He wields what seems to be either a cane, a stick, or a whip. He seems to be preparing to strike his dog with it. He has a horn slung around his shoulder. The dog looks up at the man, it seems to be bracing itself. In the distance, on the right-hand side of the image there is a stag running away.
There are 3 animals, a wolf, fox and a ape. The fox and the wolf are facing eachother, while the ape is sat down leaned up against a tree, along with other plants scattered around. A difference has arisen between the fox and the wolf and the ape is the judge between them. The wolf accused the fox of stealing from him and the fox pleaded not guilty. The ape disbelieves the accusations of neither.
An Indigenous village is shown, full of fantastical creatures. In the center of the scene an Indigenous person speaks with two European men. A large hairy creature stands to the left of the three.

To the right two more individuals run from another of the horned creatures. There is a ship and a large creature in the water near the coast on the right, and further up the coast a person chases after a large winged creature. There are several structures in the background.
The inhabitants of Laputa were scholars who became so wrapped up in their work that they would lose consciousness of their surroundings. They hired ‘flappers’ to follow them around and hit them with inflated bladders to help them navigate the world, and communicate with each other. In this image we see a scholar who is about to walk off a cliff because he was too wrapped up in thought to pay attention to his surroundings.

Here Gulliver eats with the Captain of the ship who rescued him from his box from Brobdingnag. Gulliver tells the captain about his time in Brobdingnag, much to the disbelief of the captain. He tells Gulliver how they found him, much farther from land than Gulliver imagined because he felt he was only in the water for a few hours. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
A pack of wolf and a flock of sheep were in a middle of a brutal fight. The wolves were at a higher position, vice versa. They were in a stagnant pharse with similar level causalities. Wolves attracked with their sharp teeth while sheeps utilized their tough horns. There was body of sheep on the bottom of th illustration. On the other hand, there was wolf hounding, buried underneath them.
Here we see Gulliver’s tutor from Laputa. He was charged with teaching Gulliver the language and showing him around the island. Gulliver’s tutor showed him the schools and the research in philosophy and astronomy that was being conducted. The image shows how the Laputans had their head tilted to one side and had one eye facing inwards while the other looks upwards. The tutor wears a headpiece that has a “J” on it because it is the first letter of the chapter. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
Gulliver’s master explained various aspects of the Yahoos that lived in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. This image is a bust of an important yahoo teacher. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

When midnight approaches yet again, Calisto visits Melibea while Sosia and Tristan stand guard. As he and Melibea talk, he hears a scuffle in the street. Tristan informs him that it is just Thraso and his companions, and that Sosia has managed to scare them off. Regardless, Calisto climbs the high garden wall and, descending the outside ladder too quickly, falls to his death. To avoid exposing him to dishonour, Sosia and Tristan carry him away (as seen in this illustration). Meanwhile, Melibea laments the tragic loss of her lover.
A large number of Indigenous people have been lured onto a Spanish ship by Diego d’Ocampo and his soldiers, in retaliation for an uprising against Spanish colonization in Venezuela. At least three Indigenous people have been hung from the mast of the ship. Several have escaped the ship by jumping overboard and swimming for shore, and some have reached the shore where they then flee the ship. The ship’s cannon is used to fire at those escaping. Two dwellings are visible near the shore. This image is identical to one found on page 181 of Frankfurt, 1594, but colored.

The women hold fans that were used at balls to communicate with other people from across the room. The men wear waistcoats and tailcoats with cravats.

Here Gulliver is caught by a monkey who belonged to a clerk of the kitchen in the court of Brobdingnag. Gulliver was left in his box while Glumdalclitch went out and left the windows open. The monkey got loose and found Gulliver’s box and reached in the window and picked up Gulliver. The monkey held Gulliver as though he were a baby about to suckle and Gulliver pulls away from it, which is seen in this image. The monkey was startled by a noise and climbed out the window, taking Gulliver with him. Rocks were thrown to try and get the monkey down, however someone had to go up to the roof to get the monkey down with Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
Don Alfonso escapes from the monastery in which he has been locked up by his brother King Don Sancho. Not satisfied with the territory he got as an inheritance from his father, Sancho has been trying to conquer the territories left to his siblings as well. Rather than kill Alfonso when he was captured, Sancho was convinced by his sister Doña Urraca and the Cid to send him to a monastery instead. Alfonso was able to escape quickly, fleeing to Toledo out of Sancho’s control.
After he was rescued, Gulliver showed the captain of the ship some of the things he took from Brobdingnag. These included the comb he made with the King’s beard stubble, the Queen’s ring, stingers from the wasps, and a tooth pulled from a footman. Gulliver tried to give the captain the ring as thanks for saving him, but the captain would only take the tooth.
