Description: Here we see the eagle carrying away Gulliver’s house from Brobdingnag. In the image we see the eagle’s head with a rope attached to Gulliver’s head in his beak. Gulliver leans out the window, looking up at the eagle. We see the straps attached to Gulliver’s house which were worn like a backpack when he was travelling. This is the smaller of his two houses, as this was designed for travel. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
