Commentary | Don Quixote, sat and with calm gesture, observes his name written on a shining and sparking book (deeds and fame).
Around him, different small figures; some holding books about errant knights (Galaor, Palmerin...) and others skewered on quills. Interesting representation of don Quixote's imaginary world. |
Notes | 1 - Same illustration first appeared in London: F. Warne, 1866. |
