EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Gulliver is very ill. He is suffering from homesickness" depicts a poignant scene from the renowned novel Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. Created by the French School in the late 19th or early 20th century, this educational card showcases Gulliver lying on his sickbed, consumed by an overwhelming sense of homesickness. The image beautifully captures Gulliver's despair and longing for his homeland as he battles with illness. The sadness in his eyes reflects the depth of his emotions, while a spoonful of medicine symbolizes the care and attention he receives from those around him. Jonathan Swift's satirical masterpiece takes readers on extraordinary adventures through various lands, including Lilliput where tiny inhabitants called Lilliputians reside. This particular illustration highlights Gulliver's vulnerability and emphasizes how even a character as strong-willed as him can succumb to feelings of loneliness and yearning for home. The print also provides insight into European culture during that era, featuring elements such as German furniture and references to Germany itself. It serves not only as a visual representation of literature but also offers glimpses into historical contexts. Overall, this artwork invites viewers to delve deeper into Gulliver's emotional journey while appreciating its artistic composition and cultural significance within European society at that time.
