Description: The yahoos are a form of human who live in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver looks down on the yahoos, thinking of them as a form of inferior human, which is reflected in this image. In this image we see Gulliver in the background, with a group of yahoos in the front. A female yahoo nurses her child, while another climbs a tree. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
