Description: In this image we see the farmer from Brobdingnag picking up Gulliver and examining him, holding Gulliver between his fingers. This image shows the size difference between Gulliver and the Giants of Brobdingnag. A sheathe with a knife hangs from the giant’s waist. The Giant has long straight hair and wears short pants, a loose shirt and a vest over it. He stands amid the field of wheat where he found Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
