Plate XI, is entitled "Poltronerie de
Sancho a la Chasse," and has been inserted in
Volume II, Chapter 34, page 269 (Volume IV, page
34 in its original placement). It was engraved
by C. N. Cochin26 and carries the following
legend, "Sevend a Paris chez Surrugue rue des
Noyer avec Privilege." This is a very rich and
very detailed engraving, slightly larger in size
and printed on coarser paper. The general
appearance, embossing, and dark inking are,
however, the same as those in the previous three
plates. The indication of a page in the text
with which it was originally associated, instead
of a chapter number, could also indicate
different provenance. Nevertheless, because of
its size and quality we are inclined to believe
that the differences are due to the engraver and
not the edition. The trimmed plate measures now
328 x 354 mm. |
