Period: 1800-1850;
Description: Here we see Gulliver encountering the farmer giant’s dogs. Two dogs stand at the edge of the table looking at Gulliver. The two dogs resemble a St Bernard and a greyhound. The St Bernard’s head is resting on the table. Gulliver stands on the table with his small bowl of food next to him. He leans back away from the dogs. This image highlights the difference in scale between the giant’s world and reality. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
