Description: Here Gulliver’s house is rescued by sailors after he was dropped into the ocean by an eagle. We see a rowboat with five men pulling in Gulliver’s house. In the background we see the large sailing ship that brought Gulliver back to England. Gulliver had a difficult time adjusting to interacting with humans his own size. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
