Commentary | Accurate to Cervantes' text, Pedro Alonso returns to his village after having been with a load of wheat to the mill.
The initial has been transformed into a vignette where it is difficult to find it; the "V" is formed by the donkey ears. |
Notes | 1 - Same initial and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
