This print showcases a historical map that reveals the intriguing location of Lilliput, a fictional island from the first edition of Jonathan Swift's renowned masterpiece, "Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World" better known as Gulliver's Travels. Crafted by an English School artist in the 18th century and now part of a private collection, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into Swift's imaginative world. The map depicts Lilliput nestled among other islands in what appears to be Sumatra, highlighting Swift's satirical commentary on European politics and society during the 1700s. With its clever parody and sharp wit, Gulliver's Travels has become an enduring classic that continues to captivate readers worldwide. As we delve into this visual treasure trove, we are transported back in time to witness Gulliver's extraordinary voyage through various remote nations.

With its rich history and cultural significance, this print is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a gateway for exploration and imagination. Whether you are an avid reader or simply fascinated by cartography and travel literature from centuries past, this piece invites you to embark on your own literary adventure through Lilliput alongside Jonathan Swift himself.
