Commentary | Don Quixote kissing the Duchess' hand; Sancho and several maidens observe the scene.
Not accurate to Cervantes' original text; don Quixote falls from Rocinante to the ground before kissing the Duchess' hand and Cervantes doesn't say whether he does it later or not. Skilful drawing and engraving. |
Notes | 1 - Same illustration first appeared in Paris: Hachette, 1853 (and 1859). |
