Commentary At an inn, two gentlemen (don Juan and don Jerónimo) meet don Quixote and Sancho and show them Avellaneda's novel; the respresentation is very accurate to Cervantes' description: "entraron por la puerta de su aposento dos caballeros, que tales lo parecían, y uno dellos echando los brazos al cuello de don Quijote [...], poniéndole un libro en las manos" (59:2). 
Notes 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37.
