"Zie Gulivers geval" is an 1842-1856 wood-engraving by P.J. Delhuvenne, featuring 16 scenes depicting the travels of fictional character Lemuel Gulliver from Jonathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels. Each scene is presented as a wood-engraved panel, illustrating the story's narrative and visual aspects of the journey. This unique format of a wood-engraved graphic novel made the story accessible to a wider audience. The artwork uses simple black and white lines to create detailed figures and landscapes, immersing the viewer in Gulliver's fantastical encounters. The text in the panels, though in Dutch, hints at Gulliver's size discrepancies and the humorous absurdity of his experiences, making the work both engaging and educational.
