Commentary Frontispiece based on don Quixote's Part II iconography (17:2).
Don Quixote, as Knight of the Lions (one lion appears beside him), holds a sword and a sun faced shield.
Behind him, over a semicircle wall, Dulcinea, as an old peasant woman, and Sancho, as governor.
Between them, a medallion with Merlin's portrait.
Simple drawing and engraving. 
Notes 1 - Photomechanical copy of the illustration appeared in Amberes: Verdussen, 1672-73 (same plate by unknown engraver first engraved for Brussels: Mommarte, 1662, which was a clumsy copy after Savery's frontispiece for Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
