1726 Brobdingnag Gulliver Gullivers Swift Travels
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the famous encounter between Gulliver and Glumdalclitch, the Lilliputian princess, in Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," first published in 1726. The scene shows Gulliver, a larger-than-life Englishman, cradling the tiny Glumdalclitch in his hands, as she gazes up at him with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The intricate details of the print bring Swift's whimsical and satirical tale to life, transporting us to the fantastical land of Brobdingnag. Glumdalclitch, or the "fair maid of Brobdingnag," as Gulliver refers to her, is a central character in the fourth part of Swift's novel, "A Voyage to Brobdingnag." In this section, Gulliver is brought to Brobdingnag, a land of giants, where he is considered a giant himself. Glumdalclitch, who is only six inches tall, is sent to accompany Gulliver and act as his interpreter and guide. The contrast between their sizes highlights the absurdities of human nature and societal norms that Swift satirizes throughout the novel. Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" is a classic work of English literature, renowned for its wit, social commentary, and imaginative storytelling. This beautiful print, with its intricate details and rich colors, offers a glimpse into the fantastical world of Brobdingnag and the unforgettable characters that inhabit it. Whether you're a fan of Swift's work, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the art of storytelling, this print is a must-have for any collection.
