Commentary | Alonso Quijano, reading chivalry books at his library, becomes mad (don Quixote); books, armour and arms all around the room.
Well-known scene. The setting is almost medieval (more like a tent than like a 16th century Spanish library). Good drawing and coloring for a young readers' edition; remarkable figure of don Quixote, notice his expression. |
