Commentary | Original detail taken from Cervantes' text; Lotario continues giving some advice to Anselmo; "como el armiño llega al lodo, se está quedo y se deja prender y cautivar, a trueco de no pasar por el cieno y perder y ensuciar su blancura, que la estima en más que la libertad y la vida" (33:1). |
Notes | 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
