Commentary | In the center, the innkeeper giving don Quixote to drink with a cane through his helmet; at both sides, a boy with a lamp (taken from the scene of don Quixote knighted), doña Tolosa and doña Molinera; also 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).
Good composition almost copied from Antonio Rodríguez' (Madrid: Imprenta Real, 1797); now, the illustration is larger and the figures too. Detailed popular setting (architecture, the swineherd, a dog...). |
Notes | 1 - Same illus. from Madrid: Imprenta Real, 1819. |
