Gulliver's Travels into Lilliput and Brobdingnag (1920) is based upon the classic 18th Century tale by Jonathan Swift - which
was originally entitled Travels into Several Remote National of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First Surgeon, and
then a Captain of several Ships.
Jean de Bosschère's suite of illustrations for this version include 4 colour illustrations, 10 full-page monotone images and
many addition monotone designs contributed as marginalia.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-in plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted
approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is
hand-finished and the images are presented on Ivory card stock (in the case of colour images) and White card stock
(in the case of monotone images) with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each card carries information about
Jean de Bosschère, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior of the cards blank so
that you may write your own personal message.
