Description: In this image we see Gulliver interacting with two beggars on Brobdingnag. The beggars came to the royal kitchens to asks for food. We see Gulliver recoiling from the giants with his hands blocking his face. The giant on the right is missing teeth, while the giant on the left has a bandage covering his eye. Both giants are looking up, as though they are on their knees looking up at another giant and asking for food. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
