	Commentary	Don Quixote talking with the galley slaves; one of them appears knelt down before the knight; also Sancho(?). The illustration is a very free interpretation of Cervantes' text; don Quixote looks like the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and the scene has been set inside a classicist architecture; maybe, it has been re-used from a different novel. The figures in the foreground are well-drawn and engraved; but they are totally un-accurate. The ornamental frame includes arms, Medusa's head, a laurel branch and a palm branch; good decorative effect.
	Notes	Wrongly placed; it should appear in Chap. VIII, Book III, between pp. 90 and 91. The plate is not signed either by the illustrator or by the engraver, but Río y Rico attributes it to Riley and Scott, who sign the frontispiece. It is dated on April 5, 1794. "El Caballero de la Mancha está convertido en un perfecto decurión romano de teatro, y los galeotes visten como los orientales de convención, que también aparecían en otras hoy soporíferas tragedias volterianas, Zaïre o Mahomet. Ni las madres de aquellos infelices seráin capaces de reconocerlos, agrupados, además, en ese templo circular o pórtico de esceneografía neoclásica. Bien hace Don Quijote en irlos examinando, como dice la leyenda, «uno por uno»" (Givanel 176-177).
