	Commentary	After being stoned by the shepherds, don Quixote asks Sancho to count his teeth. The realism of the illustration reinforces the humour of the text, but Johannot has not chosen the moment of cruder humour (don Quixote and Sancho vomiting). Drawing and engraving are quite remarkable; the figures are highly detailed, both as real portraits.
	Notes	Jacques-Adrien Lavieille (Paris, 1818 – Paris, 1862): Wood engraver. He was brother of the painter Eugène Lavieille (Paris, 1820 – Paris, 1889). He has been considered as one of the best wood engraver in the 1830’s. He received his artistical instruction in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he met Tony Johannot; Porret was his master. In 1837, he traveled to England, where he worked for chez Williams; then, he returned to France and worked for several illustrated magazines as L’Artiste or Magasin pittoresque. In 1842, Lavieille accompanied Horace Vernet to Russia and there he was offered to be a professor in the Academy of Saint Petersburg, but he rejected it. He engraved for Romans d’Eugène Sue, Les Faits mémorables de l’Histoire de France (1845), Dore’s designs for Balzac’s Les Contes dròlatiques, Ch. Jacques’ designs for an album of rustic subjects and Les quatre parties du jour after J. F. Millet. Lavieille, who met some of the Barbizon masters, exposed in the Salon between 1848 and 1859 and he was awarded with a medal in 1849 and 1859 (Benezit VI, 492).
