Commentary At an inn, two gentlemen (don Juan and don Jerónimo) meet don Quixote and Sancho and show them Avellaneda's Continuation; the representation 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 - Reprint of the original lithograph (Mexico: Masse y Decaen; I. Cumplido, 1842) after Johannot's design (Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37).
