Notes | 1 - "A set of 4 coloured engravings, surrounded by a line, size 10 7/8 by 15 1/4 inches = 275 by 385 mm., signed Schall pin'., Descourtis sculp'., with the title Don Quichotte, five lines of quotation, in French, and "A Paris chez Descourtis, Quai des Augustins, No. 31," underneath. The subjects are: (1) Quixote knighted; (2) Sancho pleading with three peasant women for his master; (3) Quixote and Sancho on the wooden horse, upon which they were to be lifted into the air; (4) The Don tied by the hand to a window, his horse walking away from under him. MM. Portalis and Beraldi qualify them with justice "fort mauvais"." (Ashbbe, 1895: 77) |
