[Gulliver’s master at the Council of the Houyhnhnms]
-
Description
-
Here we see Gulliver's master seated before the Council of the Houyhnhnms, where represented his district. Every four years a representative council of the Houyhnhnms meets in a large plain about twenty miles from the house where Gulliver was staying. They discuss the conditions of the different districts of the country. This image appears at the beginning of chapter nine, and the letter “U” appears on the back of the chair because it is the first letter of the chapter. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
