Commentary | The priest, sat, reading one chivalry book (Adventures of Splandian) held by the barber during the scrutiny of don Quixote's library.
Meanwhile, the housekeeper throws another three books through the window. Excellent illustration; large size and perfectly-drawn figures; detailed scene; notice some details (mice on the shelf). |
Notes | 1 - Process reproduction of Pinelli's etching for Roma: R. Gentilucci, 1833-34.
2 - Wrongly-placed in chapter 23:1. |
