| Commentary | Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, charges against a windmill.
Well-known scene, but the illustration has been resolved with an original point of view, so the windmill looks giant before the tiny don Quixote. Remarkable and very original drawing style, and good coloring too. |
| Notes | 1 - Same illustration already published in Paris: Sous l'Emblème de Secrétaire, 1938.
2 - Wrongly-placed in chapter 10:1. |
