Description: Here we see Gulliver in his room on the Country of the Houyhnhnms. His room was built about six yards from the main house and made of clay. Gulliver had mats made of rush plants, and a mattress made with hemp and filled with feathers. In this image we see Gulliver cleaning his house. He wears clothes of leather made from the dried skins of yahoos. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
