Title: [a representation of evil of the Houyhnhnms]
Period: 1800-1850;
Description: Here we see a representation of evil for the Houyhnhnms, who have no word in their language for evil. When the Houyhnhnms want to describe something that is evil, they do so by explaining the poor qualities or ‘deformities’ of the yahoos, represented by this image. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
