Description: Here we see Gulliver lying on the table during dinner with the giants. The Farmer serves food from a large bowl on the centre of the table, holding a spoon. Bowls are laid out on the table in front of the giants. The farmer is in the centre of the image, with an old man across from him, and his wife behind him. The other characters in the image are the farmer’s children. Everyone is watching Gulliver. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
