Lot incudes: Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726) It’s hard to know it’s original publish date but it was done on a printers press based on the minor print discrepancies Gulliver’s Travels recounts the story of Lemuel Gulliver, a practical-minded Englishman trained as a surgeon who takes to the seas when his business fails. In a deadpan first-person narrative that rarely shows any signs of self-reflection or deep emotional response, Gulliver narrates the adventures that befall him on these travels.
