It might not be in Rabelais' book. But it's a pretty known drawing.

I'm not sure but it could have been Dore.
"Paul Gustave Doré (January 6, 1832 – January 23, 1883) was a French artist, engraver, and illustrator. He became a book illustrator in Paris, and his commissions included works by Rabelais, Balzac, and Dante."
New edition of Rabelais, 2 vols. in folio (Paris, 1873: Garnier). London: Chatto and Windus, 1873.
You might be able to find the picture at Project Gutenberg.

Try William Heath Robinson or Gustav Dore.
