Description: Here we see Gulliver’s master holding Gulliver’s hand between his hoofs. Gulliver explains the difference between his body and his hands to those of females of his species. He explains that although he has nails on his hands and feet, the skin on his hands and feet were too soft to walk on without protection. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
