Commentary | Don Quixote dialogues with the members of the braying mayors squadron while Sancho remains in the background.
Scene represented in England since Vanderbank (London: Tonson, 1738; in this case, Sancho appears braying). Illustration in keeping with 18th century English liking for scenes about dialogue, without violence. Drawing and engraving have little quality. |
Notes | The illustration is dated on September 1, 1792.
It has been place as frontispiece in volume II, but this scene belongs to chapter 27:2 (or chapter X in vol. III of this edition). This illustration is a copy (newly engraved with quite less quality) after the one designed by Thomas Stothard and engraved by Angus for London: Harrison, 1782 (and 1792). Notice that don Quixote's image is different compared to the other illustrations in this edition. |
