Description: Here we see the farmer giant who discovered Gulliver presenting him to his wife. The farmer holds Gulliver on a cloth. Gulliver kneels on the cloth in front of the woman with his arms out towards her. The woman wears a dress with a pocket hanging in front of her. Her hair is covered with a cap. She looks surprised by Gulliver and holds her left arm close to her as though she is alarmed or put off by Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
