	Commentary	Fifth of seven scenes about don Gaiferos and Melisendra's puppet show. Johannot, with great originality, represents the characters as puppets; Melisendra lowers herself from the balcony of the tower, "Mas, ¡ay, sin ventura!, que se le ha asido una punta del faldellín de uno de los hierros del balcón, y está pendiente en el aire, sin poder llegar al suelo" (26:2); this detail has been included. The artificial movement of the figure, a puppet, is specially comical.
	Notes	1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. 2 - Andrew, Best & Leloir's monogram (formed by "A", "B" and "L") can be mistaken with Alexandre-Nicolas Belhatte's ("A" and "B"). In this case, it looks more like the first one.
