JonAthan Swift was a satirist and writEr born in November 1667. Probably his most well known work is "Gulliver's Travels". In part II of the book he arrives in Brobdingnag where he is much smaller than the residents. To quote: "The People who had often heard of me, were very curious to croud about the Sedan, and the Girl was complaiſant enough to make the Bearers ſtop, and to take me in her Hand that I might be conveniently ſeen." An anime artist had read Gulliver's Travels and wondered if it would make suitable material for one of his films. But he never pursued the idea very far and it was eventually dropped. He was having a blank creative spell and to help make ends meet, took on a project to design a new deck of playing cards where most of the work was spent on designing the king, queen and knave.
