Description: Here we see Gulliver next to a hazelnut on Brobdingnag. During one of Gulliver’s performances a young boy threw a hazelnut at and Gulliver and it only narrowly missed him. After this incident Glumdalclitch became Gulliver’s only caregiver. Gulliver leans back in surprise and the hazelnut is almost the size of Gulliver. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
