Title: [Gulliver leaves the Country of the Houyhnhnms]
Period: 1850-1900;
Description: Here we see Gulliver waving to the Houyhnhnms he lived with during his time on the Country of the Houyhnhnms as he sails away. The Council of the Houyhnhnms told his master that Gulliver either had to live with the yahoos or return to Europe but could not live with the Houyhnhnms any longer. Gulliver was shocked by this, and decided he had to leave rather than live with the yahoos. Gulliver sails away in a small sailboat that he built with the help of the Sorrel Nag during his last two months in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
