Charles Cooke published this print in 1798. The image is based on artwork by Richard Corbould and the print was made by Charles Warren for “Cooke’s Pocket Edition of Select Novels.” The illustration is for “Gulliver’s Travels” and depicts the tiny figure of Gulliver in the middle of a gathering of farmers in a field.
The illustration is framed in an oval with a decorative border surmounted by flanking figures of Mr. Punch and Judy, and a mouse. The rodent is framed by the arcs of the sickles held by our puppet friends.
