Commentary | The Duchess' page, knelt, takes letters and presents to Teresa Panza: "una sarta de corales con extremos de oro" (50:2).
Accurate details to Cervantes' text: Teresa holds a tow ball. Teresica should appear barefoot. Bucolic setting; small illustration, with good drawing and engraving. |
Notes | 1 - Same plate first engraved for Paris: Didot L'Aîné-Deterville, 1799, now without frames. Also without frames in Paris: H. Nicolle, 1808.
2 - Wrongly placed in chapter 45:2. |
