Defoe, Daniel, 1661?-1731, supposed author, Swift, Jonathan, 1667-1745, supposed author · 1727 · London, : Printed by J. Watson [etc.] · 3 pictures

A satirical imaginary voyage published in London in 1727 under the pseudonym Samuel Brunt and long attributed to Defoe or Swift, mocking Robert Walpole and the South Sea speculation for a coffee-house readership. The plates mix a copperplate frontispiece of winged bird-men carrying a litter over a palm-fringed harbour with letterpress ornament: a foliate headpiece with eagle and sunbursts, and a factotum initial framed by lions, crown and mask.
