	Commentary	Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657). Well-resolved composition; don Quixote attacks Maese Pedro's theater before an astonished public. Accurate details (monkey without tail, Maese Pedro's patch...). Some details (lamp) are copied from Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724). Good composition, drawing and engraving; good effect of movement, expressions and gestures; figures of excellent engraving and drawing.
	Notes	Copied from Antonio Carnicero and Francisco Muntaner's illustration (Madrid: Ibarra, 1780) with some little changes: Sancho's head and maese Pedro's right arm. Cosmo Armstrong (19th century): English engraver. Armstrong was a disciple of Thomas Milton, who also probably worked for this edition. He was the president of the Society of Engravers and engraved plates for Kearsley’s “Shakespeare” (1805), for Cooke’s edition of “English Poets”, Smirke’s illustrations for “Don Quixote” and “The Arabian Nights” and several portraits of notable men (Shakespeare, Byron...) (Benezit I, 266).
