| Commentary | In the center, the innkeeper helping don Quixote to drink with a cane through his helmet; on the left, both party grils (doña Tolosa and doña Molinera); background, a boy with a lamp (taken from the scene of don Quixote knighted), and the swineherd accurate to Cervantes' text; "llegó acaso a la venta un castrador de puercos, y así como llegó sonó su silbato de cañas cuatro o cinco veces" (2:1).
Acceptable engraving, but poor printing/inking. |
