Gulliver's First Impression

Description

This is one of my favorite illustrations from a beloved copy of Gulliver's Travels I've had since I was a kid. I wish I could say I drew it, but it is from the book. What I altered was the text taken from the actual the page; luckily, I had a font that matched. What Gulliver is saying to the Empress in this image was not originally dialogue, just Gulliver narrating to the reader (of course, I added "Your Highness" for context). But I thought it would be hilariously in character for him to speak it; in adult versions, Gulliver is known to give neurotic details of his own calculations of the content and characteristics of the lands and peoples he visits. The Empress' dialogue is based on my response as a reader.
