| Commentary | Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante and completely armed, decides to attack some windmills believing they are giants although Sancho tries to prevent him from doing it.
Good drawing (despite some light faults) and good illustration. |
| Notes | 1 - Same illus. first published in London: Blackie and Son, 1900.
2 - "Este trote de Rocinante -en un escenario trazado con líneas esencialmente decorativas, como los cardos que aparecen en el borde inferior de la estampa, junto a la firma de su autor-, lo que está recorriendo, más que la distancia que media entre el Caballero andante y los molinos de viento, es el límite que separa el siglo XIX del XX" (Givanel 283). |
