| Commentary | Don Quixote, surrounded by goatherds, makes his speech about the Golden Age.
This is one of Johannot's most remarkable illustrations; see don Quixote's gesture, the variety of the expressions of the goatherds (listening to don Quixote with attention), the different use of drawing/engraving (more or less marked according to the position of the figure). |
| Notes | 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
