| Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho encounter a procesion of ecclesiastics with a dead body.
Sancho's frightened figure is remarkable; Houghton doesn't represent the cause of Sancho's fright (the procession), only the effect, what produces a good sense of suspense in the illustration. Drawing and engraving are excellent. |
| Notes | 1 - Notice that Rocinante's rear legs are tied, what refers to chapter 20:1 (Sancho's trick during the adventure of the fulling mills), but the illustration has been placed in chapter 19:1, where this detail does not appear.
2 - The title caption has been taken from chapter 19:1 too. 3 - Same illustration first appeared in London: F. Warne, 1866. |
