| Commentary | Accurate to Cervantes' text, the innkeeper, holding a sword and a book, knights don Quixote, knelt before him.
Doña Tolosa holds don Quixote's sword and doña Molinera a shield (it should be don Quixote's spurs). It also appears the boy with a candle. Two other women (the one next to a well is very remarkable), do not belong to Cervantes' text. Drawing and engraving are excellent. |

2 - Same plate first engraved for La Haye: P. Gosse & A. Moetjens, 1744; the references have been changed from Spanish into French. 3 - Plate III. |
