	Commentary	Well-known scene; don Quixote at his library surrounded by books, arms, armour and the greyhound. Don Quixote's face is remarkable (with good drawing and engraving), but his gesture is forced; don Quixote does not look mad. Austere setting.
	Notes	Charles Turner Warren (London, 1762 – Wandsworth, 1823). Burin Engraver. Warren was a very talented engraver, but he is not too much known. He began working as an engraver of cylinders for fabric (textile); then, he specialized in artistic engraving for books of poetry and novels. Warren was employed by Bell, Harrison and Cadell. He was a remarkable steel engraver; indeed, he won a golden medal in the Society of Art. His plates after Smirke’s designs for Don Quixote are his most remarkable work, but he also engraved designs of Wilkie and F. Kirk (Benezit X, 641).
