Quite acceptable engraving. |
| Notes | 1 - First copied for Madrid: Vega, 1804 after Antonio Rodríguez' illustration for Madrid: Imprenta Real, 1797.
2 - Wrongly-placed in chapter 2:2. 3 - Before this illustration, there were two other plates in 1797 edition: "Ynvencion del ventero para que pudiese beber D. Quixote" and "Castigados los arrieros que no respetaron las armas de D. Quixote quieren otros vengarlos"; they have not been included in 1804 and 1840 editions. |
