Jonathan Swift as Gulliver

Jonathan Swift as Gulliver

Jonathan Swift, churchman and satirist, is best known for his "Gulliver's Travels" ... today read mainly as a children's adventure yarn, but a biting satire at its time. Daniel Doyle has portrayed Swift as his hero Gulliver. In a rather forced perspective and with amazing texture variety in the sand.
