| Commentary | The Duchess' page takes letters and presents to Teresa Panza; also her daughter, Sanchica.
Basic composition used since Vanderbank (London: Tonson, 1738). Good drawing and engraving; notice the different between Sanchica's figure (in keeping with Girardot's model of beauty with "Chinese" features) and Teresa Panza, more realistic. |
| Notes | 1 - Same illustration first appeared in Tours: A. Mame, 1848.
2 - Title supplied after 1848 edition. |
