Description: Here we see two pigs sleeping. Gulliver’s master explained various aspects of the Yahoos that lived in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. He told Gulliver that the yahoos lived in filth, which Gulliver related to living like swine in Europe. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
