Commentary | Sansón Carrasco arrives to visit don Quixote and to inform him about the publication of his adventures; also Sancho Panza and the housekeeper.
Arms and barber basin hanged on the wall. Acceptable lithograph. |
Notes | Wrongly-placed in chapter 1:2; it should appear in 3:2.
Copy after Francesco Novelli's plate XVIII for Venice: Alvisopoli, 1818 (and 1819); Berselli's illustration is larger, but he has only enlarged the setting, not the figures; the housekeeper's position has been changed (now leaving the room). Novelli copied, inverted and simplified it from Paris: Didot, 1799; in 1799, this scene illustrated chapter 7:2 (Sansón Carrasco proposes himself to be don Quixote's squire); now and in 1818, it illustrates chapter 3:2. |
