| Commentary | Cervantes' portrait based on Kent's design for London: Tonson, 1738.
Acceptable engraving, but not remarkable. |
| Notes | 1 - "It is badly engraved, and represents the bust of Cervantes enclosed in an oval frame surmounted by a ribbon scroll; it rests on a base, upon which is engraved the name Cervantes" (Ashbee). |
