| Commentary | Don Quixote dialogues with the members of the braying mayors squadron; Sancho remains in the background.
Scene represented in England since Vanderbank (London: Tonson, 1738; in this case, Sancho appears braying). Illustration in keeping with 18th century English liking for scenes about dialogue, without violence. As a whole, drawing and engraving are good. |
| Notes | 1 - Same illustration and plate first published in London: Harrison & Co., 1782.
2 - Plate IV according to the order of publishing (March 30, 1782), not the chapter order. 3- This illustration was copied (newly engraved with less quality) in London: F. and C. Rivington, 1792. |
