Description: Here we see Gulliver bowing and thanking his master standing on the shore before he leaves the Country of the Houyhnhnms. The Council of the Houyhnhnms told his master that Gulliver either had to live with the yahoos or return to Europe but could not live with the Houyhnhnms any longer. Gulliver was shocked by this, and decided he had to leave rather than live with the yahoos. Gulliver built a boat to leave the Country, seen in the water behind Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
