	Commentary	Don Quixote reading chivalric books at his library; arms on the floor and the greyhound next to him; Folly touches don Quixote's head with her scepter and, among dark clouds, don Quixote's fantasies appear: a devil with blown bladders (like the bojiganga; 11:2), monsters, hybrid beings... Scene conceived halfway through the 18th century allegorical frontispieces and the Romanticism imaginative illustrations. Small illustration of great quality; highly-detailed drawing and engraving; good light and shadow effects.
	Notes	1 - Same plate first engraved for Paris: Didot L'Aîné-Deterville, 1799 (1st ed.), but now (2nd ed.) without frame and without signature.
