Commentary Don Quixote with the allegory of Folly, as it was described by Cesare Ripa (dressed as a jester with small bells and holding a whirligig) and Love, as Cupid.
Folly and Love show to don Quixote Dulcinea's portrait.
Don Quixote appears as Knight of the Lions.
A satyr (reference to Don Quixote as a book of satire) sets fire to different chivalry books: Amadís de Grecia, El Caballero de la Cruz, Olivante de Laura...
Good portrait of don Quixote.
Drawing and engraving of great quality. 
Notes 1 - Photomechanical copy of the frontispiece appeared in Madrid: Ibarra, 1780.
