Commentary | During the night vigil of his arms (placed on a water trough next to a well, accurate to Cervantes' text), don Quixote orders to several muleteers not to touch them.
The scene is not totally accurate to Cervantes' text, since the first muleteer arrived alone (here with others and the innkeeper). Drawing and engraving are very remarkable; good and highly-detailed illustration. |
Notes | 1 - Process reproduction of Pinelli's etching for Roma: R. Gentilucci, 1833-34.
2 - Wrongly-placed in chapter 8:1. |
