| Commentary | Well-known scene; don Quixote, asleep and with a blanket around his arm, draws his sword against the giant Pandafilando (wineskins).
The innkeeper tries to hit don Quixote and the priest and the barber arrive to stop them. Sancho searchs Pandafilando's blood and head on the floor. Theatrical; in the background, a great curtain. Drawing and engraving with little quality. Deficient printing/preservation. |
