PREFACE.
4
I KNOW no book so pre-eminently suitable for illustration as El Ingenioso
Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha. In its marvellous pages will be found
everything that the artist can possibly desire. Will he delineate human
character ? Where can be found types more varied, more distinctly marked !
From the duke and duchess to the galley-slaves, from the knight and his
squire to the urchins of Barcelona, one and all possess individuality. Does
he seek scenery ? The inhospitable plains of La Mancha and the rugged,
picturesque passes of the Sierra Morena furnish it in abundant variety.
Animals are there, and remarkable ones, oxen, sheep, birds, Sancho's ass,
his master's horse and his "galgo corriente" — all studies of breed and
idiosyncrasy. The costume is remarkably varied, the picturesque garments
of the iyth century being mingled with the earlier armour and knightly
accoutrements of that chivalry which Cervantes " smill'd away". Ludicrous
situations, of every possible kind, abound.
All this is well known. Since the early part of the i8th century artists
of all nations and in every walk of art have been attracted by this enchanting
book. Pictures, tapestries, statues, engravings are the result ; unfortunately
the philosophy, the pathos, the subtilty of Cervantes have too frequently
been overlooked, and his broad humour alone seized upon. His hero has
been depicted as a ridiculous lunatic rather than as an erudite, clear minded
gentleman, and the shrewd, faithful peasant, who follows him, has been
converted into a coarse glutton. The book in short has been treated as if
suitable only for the amusement of children, not, as it really is, capable of
enlightening and diverting the adult. It must be owned, I fear, that no
work of art emanating from Spain's most famous literary production can be
placed in the very foremost rank.
In the following pages I have endeavoured to describe the various
vi PREFACE.
engravings on wood, metal and stone done to illustrate Don Qvixote, the
translations of that work, and some books founded upon it.
I have divided my notices into classes or sections :
I. Engravings contained in editions of Don Quixote, those published
in other works, those issued separately. Arts, i to 327*.
II. Continuations of Don Quixote by other pens than that of Cervantes.
Arts. 328 to 336.
III. Dramas based on Don Quixote, and works owing their origin to that
romance. Arts. 337 to 359.
IV. Portraits of Cervantes. Arts. 360 to 403.
V. Life of Cervantes and Autographs. Arts. 404 to 411.
VI. Pictures, Tapestries and Statues. Arts. 412 to 468.
My articles, which follow each other in chronological order, and which
I have sought to render as clear, comprehensive and succinct as possible,
are on one uniform plan : When noticing sets of engravings I give (a) the
number of engravings of which the set is composed ; (6) their size in inches
and in milimetres, measuring the engraving itself, not the plate, and always
(i) vertically from top to bottom, (2) horizontally from side to side ; (c) the
names of the painters or designers, and engravers ; (d) any special indications
which the engravings may possess ; (e) in what edition of Don Quixote, or
other work, they were published ; (/) date of publication ; (g) the various
states in which they have appeared.
The English language is strangely deficient in terms of art, and I have
not unfrequently been obliged, much against my will, to employ foreign
expressions, concerning which a word or two may not be out of place.
" Vignette " is not an English word, but I know no other to indicate
small engravings, in the text or more usually on the title-page.
When these small engravings are not squared off, but are left with
their edges rough or uneven, as in arts. 128, 140, etc., I call them " vig-
netted ". Vignetted is an awkward, un-English word, conveying no very
clear or precise meaning; but the French equivalent "a claire-voie" would
not be universally understood by English readers.
The small etchings or engravings which artists sometimes add on the
margins of their engravings in certain states (arts. 249, 286) I call
PREFACE. vn
"remarques". I believe we have no English word to designate these
marginal, extra embellishments, nor am I sure that the word remarque
Would be recognised as bearing this signification by the French Academy.
Etching again is no equivalent for the French " eau-forte ". The former
indicates a finished work, whereas by the latter we understand the effect
produced by the first bite of the acid before the burin or other tool has
been employed.
It would be well were these and similar terms definitely and authori-
tatively fixed.
I do not notice publishers' marks, typographical ornamentations, or
illustrations which have no direct reference to persons or incidents in the
tale. Thus I have passed over the first edition of Madrid, For Juan de la
Cuesta, Ano, 1605, of which the title-page bears a heraldic composition with
a motto, which might serve equally well for any other work.
In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions I have in quoting the title-
pages of Don Quixote invariably omitted the name of Cervantes and other
words referring to the authorship. However, in the Continuations not by
him I give the author's name, when mentioned, to obviate confusion, as
in art. 2.
As this work is not strictly biographical I do not transcribe title-pages
in extenso, but only so much of them as will clearly distinguish the
various editions.
The arrangement I have adopted is, as already mentioned, chronological.
This system commended itself to me in preference to that of grouping my
notices under their respective designers or engravers, as it enabled me to
refer back from later or spurious engravings to the original productions of
the same designs, and to point out how far the latter differed from the
former.
In this chronological arrangement the readers will be guided by the
figures on the heads of the pages. Nevertheless, in many notices dates
posterior to those on the page-headings will be found ; but these are only
of reprints and reproductions and are unworthy of separate articles. The
dates at the top of the pages refer to original, special, or typical editions
and impressions.
In other respects my plan may appear to savour of topsyturvydom. I
pass from ordinary impressions of engravings to proofs and etchings (eaux-
viii PREFACE.
fortes), from engravings to original drawings or paintings, from illustrations
to the books for which they were done. This could not be otherwise.
Had I in every instance been able to inspect the original designs I would
naturally have begun by describing them, and passed on to the engravings
taken from them. But I notice nothing which I have not seen, and in a
few instances only have I had the original drawings in my hands. More-
over, the object of this compilation is to point out what the collector can
obtain, viz. the engravings prepared for the public, not the artists' designs
which may no longer exist, or may be hidden in the cabinets of amateurs.
Nevertheless, when good fortune has placed drawings or pictures in my way
I do not fail to mention them.
Of contractions I have been chary. I consider it unfair to the reader
to inflict on him the study of a page or so of abbreviations, generally in
small type, before he can consult a work with comfort. The few words
which I have shortened will be clear at once to any one accustomed to
use books of reference : art. for article, mm. for milimetres, vol. for
volume, etc.
When describing an engraving, or a picture, I call the right side that
facing the right hand of the beholder, the left that opposite his left— the
reverse, in fact, of the dexter and sinister of heraldry.
My original intention was to confine myself to the two parts of Don
Quixote strictly, and to pass over both the Continuations, and the portraits
of Cervantes. This restriction 'I soon found inconvenient and unsatisfactory.
The work of Cervantes has on more than one occasion been published
together with the continuation or even continuations, and engravings after
designs by the same artist run through both productions (arts. 16, 20, 74,
etc.). It would be manifestly insufficient to notice a part only of a set of
plates, confusion and incompleteness must result from such a treatment.
One thing then led to another, and I was eventually induced to include
both continuations of, and works relating to, Don Quixote. With respect
to the portraits : Since 1738, when the first likeness of Cervantes was
invented (art. 39), scarcely an illustrated edition of his masterpiece has
appeared without an attempt of some kind to portray his image. To omit
mentioning this supplementary illustration would be to notice the edition
imperfectly.
Should my measurements sometimes seem to be incorrect it should be
PREFACE. ix
borne in mind that all the engravings in the same set are not invariably
of the exact, same size. I have given the dimensions of one only, generally
one of the first in the book.
I have endeavoured to render the Table of Editions Noticed and the
Index as thorough, complete and exhaustive as possible, so that by their
aid the reader, if he knows but the name of the publisher or place of
publication, may find the edition he seeks, or with a knowledge of the
artist, engraver, or even the printer, he may be able to identify an
engraving be it one only of a set.
Section VI. is entirely tentative, and should perhaps have been omitted.
Having mentioned in previous articles, while describing the engravings in
which they were reproduced, a few pictures and drawings, I thought it well
to add notices of other pictures, tapestries, and statues which have generally
not been engraved. My list is of course utterly incomplete and is only
offered as the nucleus for a more thorough treatment of a very interesting
branch of the iconography of Don Quixote. I should be grateful to any of
my readers who would direct my attention to any original painting or other
work of art not included in my list.
The task I have undertaken is neither new1 nor original. An Iconography
of Don Quixote already exists. But the present work is on an entirely
different plan from the Iconografia published at Barcelona in 1879 (p. 172),
and in no way interferes with, or pretends to supplant, that useful publication.
That a work of this kind can be perfect, thoroughly exhaustive, and
free from errors no bibliophile will expect. As however I have taken
nothing for granted, and have used my best endeavours to render .the
inherent mistakes as few as possible, I cherish the hope that my labour
may not be absolutely disdained by the book-lovers to whom it is in all
modesty and humility offered.
1 I have already treated the same subject, in a popular manner, on two occasions: in an
article entitled " Quelques Illustrateurs de Don Quichotte," published in the Annales Litteraires
des Bibliophiles Contemporains, Paris, 1892 ; and in a paper read before the Bibliographical Society,
March 20, 1893, ar"d printed in Vol. I. of the Transactions. Both these monographs are insufficient,
and contain errors which I trust I have in the present work more or less corrected. In my paper
before the Bibliographical Society I spoke of .the immediate and wide-spread popularity of Don
Quixote. Were further proof of that assertion needed it would assuredly be found in the fact that
in 1613, two years before the appearance of the second part, a procession of Quixote characters
was formed in the town of Dessau in Germany. See art. 337.
C
x PREFACE.
It must be owned that in spite of the great number of illustrations
which have been done for Don Quixote few of them are really satisfactory.
In this opinion I am to a great extent in accord with Mr. H. E. Watts.
Those that are beautiful, such as the engravings after Coypel (art. 22) and
Smirke (art. 119), are not Spanish ; those that are Spanish lack artistic
merit (art. 72) ; whereas the much vaunted productions of Dor6 (art. 247)
are not faithful to the narrative.
The question then arises whether a work of the imagination should
ever be illustrated — whether it were not better to leave the reader entirely
in the author's hands without the intervention of a second party. To have
thoroughly satisfactory illustrations there would seem to be but two alterna-
tives : either the author must illustrate his own work ; or he must have at
his elbow an artist of equal and similar genius to his own. Both combi-
nations are alike difficult. The former presupposes an author talented in
the same measure with both pen and pencil, a contingency rarely if ever
met with;1 the latter requires that author and artist should be contemporary,
and work in collaboration.2 But books are generally illustrated long after
the author's death by artists who knew him not, and may not even be of
the same country. Then again it not unfrequently happens that the artist
reads negligently the book he has to design for, or endeavours to improve
upon it. Until quite recently it was not thought necessary to adhere
closely to scenery or costume — to treat an author in fact archseologically.
These considerations, not to adduce any others, are, I believe, sufficient to
account for the unsatisfactory state of illustrations generally, and of those
for Don Quixote in particular. My duty however has been to record and
describe rather than to criticise, consequently I abstain from further
discussion of so delicate a question.
My gratitude is due to my revered friend Senor Don Pascual de Gayangos
for the interest he has evinced in my undertaking and the aid he has afforded
me in correcting the press. I would also thank M. P. Roblin of Paris for
the assiduity which he has shown in bringing to my notice the various sets
of illustrations which have passed through his hands in the course of his
interesting business.
1 Thackeray's illustrations of his own works, to cite a single example, are not, I believe,
considered equal to his writing.
3 As was the case with most of the novels of Dickens.
PREFACE. XI
I lay down my pen with regret. Mine has been a labour of love, and
has afforded me, for some time past, delightful occupation during my leisure
moments. My recompense then has been already attained, for my work
has been its own reward. Should nevertheless my book prove useful, in
however small a degree, and should it be found possible to award me the
lowest place among those who have devoted their time and energies to
Cervantes' immortal romance, the summit of my ambition will have been
reached.

I have not seen this edition, but am indebted for above notice to the Iconografia,
where the engraving in question is reproduced as No. i of the series. The same
engraving will be found on the title-pages of the two following volumes:

6.
A set of i engraved and illustrated title-page, and 37 engravings, size about 8 by
7 inches = 204 by 178 mm., all unsigned ; within the design are the names of the
various figures ; and underneath, or above, and sometimes running into the design,
descriptions, frequently of some length, in French ; all have the publisher's name,
" BOISSEUIN rue petit pont au chaudron," generally underneath, but sometimes
within, the design. No letter-press. The title-page reads:
Les Avantvres du fameux Cheualier Dom Qvixol de la Manche et de Sancho Pansa
son escuyer.
No date. Probably L. BOISSEVIN engraved the above set himself. STRUTT says
that he flourished 1623, and "it is thought that he engraved also himself". There
is a copy in the Cabinet d'Estampes de la Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris.
7-
A set of 2 engraved frontispieces, and 24 engravings, unsigned, twelve to each
vol., size 4! by 2f inches = 114 by 68 mm. : The first frontispiece has, above, a round
medallion portrait of Dulcinea ; below, Don Quixote mounted and Sancho on foot
with the head of his ass under his left arm ; on either side are figures of Amadis
and Roelant (sic) on pedestals ; the names of all the figures are given ; on the verso
are four lines of verse in Dutch. This frontispiece has been reproduced more than
once (see arts. 8, 9, 10, n, 14, 16, 19). The second frontispiece has Merlyn, Dulcinea,
Sancho Panca, and Don Quixote. The engravings, which are well executed, have
" Fol." indications in one of the top corners. Done for
Den Verstandigen Vroomen Ridder, Don Quichot de la Mancha. etc. En nu uyt de

The engravings are said to be by SALOMON SAVRY ; l and the translation by L.
VAN DEN Bos. On the last page of the second volume we read : Gedruckt bij JACOB
PRAAT, in de Wercken de Hoop, 1657 ".
I have seen another edition, which contains, I believe, the same, or very similar,
frontispieces and engravings to those here described. As, however, I had not the
opportunity of comparing them carefully, I cannot speak positively. It is :

etc., par F. DE ROSSET. Derniere Edition, augmentee &> enrichie de Figures en Taille
dottce. A Paris, Par la Compagnie des Libraires dv Palais, M.DC.LXV. 12°, 2 vols.
A frontispiece to each volume.
1 STRUTT, who spells the name " Savery," observes that some of his work is "executed in a style,
which does him no small credit ".
4 ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1662-1669.
8.
A set of 2 engraved title-pages, and i6l engravings. The title-page to the first '
volume is copied from that of the edition of Dordrecht, 1657 (art. 7), and is
reproduced in the Iconografia* as No. 2. That to " Tomo Segundo" has, at top,
an enframed portrait of Merlin ; on each side are seated figures of Dulcinea and
Sancho, with Quixote and a Lion underneath. The names of all the characters are
underneath their several representations. Both bear, in a space below the design :
" En Bruselas, En casa de Juan Mommarte, 1662 ". Both measure 6T% by 3^
inches = 157 by 83 mm., and are unsigned. The engravings, which are all un-
signed, measure sf by 3^ inches = 146 by 82 mm. ; they have, at the top, " Fol."
indications; whilst the eight belonging to the second volume have, at the bottom,
" parte II.". Done for

The same two engraved title-pages and sixteen plates were again used in the
edition En Bruselas, A costa de Pedro de la Calle. Ano 1671. Con Licenda y
Privilegio. 8°, 2 vols.
In his notice of the edition Bruselas, 1662, Mr. H. E. WATTS remarks with
some asperity :
This edition has the further distinction of being the first which was " embellished " with
plates.3 These embellishments, which herald the long line of vile attempts to make Don Quixote a
picture-book, are remarkable, even among the Don Quixote illustrations, for their ugliness and ludicrous
inappropriateness to the text.
9-
A set of i engraved frontispiece, and 26 engravings : The frontispiece, which
measures 5!* by 3! inches = 145 by 85 mm., is unsigned, and has, above, portraits,
in circular frames, of Dulcina [sic] and Merlijn ; in the middle the Don mounted with
Sancho on foot holding Dapple's head under his left arm ; on each side full-length
figures of Amadis and Roelant [sic] ; and below Quixote on foot with a lion. It is
subscribed: "Don Quichot Ridder vande Leeuwe". On the verso are four lines of
verse in Dutch. The engravings are the same as those in the edition of Dordrecht,
1657 (art. 7), rather worn, and the " Fol." indications altered to suit the new pagi-
nation. Done for

3 This remark, which is endorsed by Mr. J. R. ANDERSON, is, to say the least, misleading. It is
not the first illustrated edition, although it may be the first in the Spanish language.

A set of 2 engraved title-pages, and 30 engravings : The title-pages, from which
however the impress is now cut off, and sixteen of the engravings all unsigned, are
the same as those of the edition Bruselas, 1662 (art. 8) ; the remaining fourteen
engravings, which measure 5! by 3! inches = 144 by 93 mm., consequently not
quite the same dimensions as the others, are signed, within the design, F. BOUTTATS
scul. ; all thirty have, above, " parte " and " Fol." indications. Two of the engrav-
ings by BOUTTATS are reproduced as Nos. 5 and 53 in the Iconografia? Done for

The same series was again employed in the edition En Amberes, For Henrico y
Cornelia Verdussen, M.DC.XCVII. Anos ; and again in that En Amberes, For Juan
Bautista Verdussen, M.D.CC.XIX. Anos. Both in 8°, and 2 vols. ; on the printed
title-pages of both editions "32 Estampas" are specified.

A set of i engraved frontispiece, and 32 engravings in the text by DIEGO DE
OBREGON : B The frontispiece, which measures 6£ by 4^ inches = 156 by 114 mm.,
1 In spite of this indication I have never found the full count of engravings in the several copies I
have examined ; the " 26 figuren " then may possibly include the frontispiece.
2 A confusion seems to have been made between the editions of Bruselas, 1662, and Amberes, 1673,
the title-page of the former (No. 2) being applied to the engravings (Nos. 5 and 53) of the latter; the
dimensions of the engravings, too, are incorrect, and their number, thirty-one, is also false, as indicated
on the title-page above transcribed, thirty-two, counting the two title-pages, is correct. Or there may
even be thirty-two ex title-pages. I have examined several copies, none of which had more than thirty-
two engravings, including the two title-pages. However, there are undoubtedly thirty-two engravings
without counting the title-pages in the edition of Lisboa, 1775 (vide supra), and there might be that
number in that of Amberes, 1673.
3 In the Iconograf'ia this set is noted as " Dibujo y grabado anonimos ".

has the signature of DIEGO DE OBREGON exculpsi. In spite of this important name,
the design is not original, but is copied and enlarged from that of the edition of
Dordrecht, 1657 (art. 7). The engravings, fifteen to the first, seventeen to the
second volume, measure about 3^ by 4$ inches = 88 by 120 mm., and are unsigned.

if not exactly copied, from the same Dutch originals. Done for

This is the first illustrated edition done in Spain, and the engravings, of very
considerable merit, have been frequently reproduced. I note the following editions
in which they will be found more or less worn :

The frontispieces are very badly reproduced, and have the "To." or " Tomo "
indications in the design ; they have also, underneath, in italics, for Vol. I. " Santio
Panza : Don Chisciotte de la Mancia," for Vol. II. " Don Chisciotte Caualiere Del
Lione ". The execution of the engravings is better ; they have the " Fol." indications
changed to correspond with the new text. There are eight engravings to each vol.

A set of i engraved frontispiece, and 16" engravings: The frontispiece measures
lof by 6T9¥ inches = 264 by 166 mm., and has, within the design, the word " Frontis-
piece," and the names of Dulcinea Del Toboso, Sancho Pancha and Don Quixot,
underneath the delineations of those characters. The engravings, two on each plate,
measure 5 by 5f inches = 127 by 145 mm., and have descriptions, in English, and

engraved frontispiece. I have never found a frontispiece in the second part.

plates," which is so far correct.

The text begins on the verso of the title-page, which is numbered 2. I believe
that there is an earlier edition of 1686, and a later one of 1699, but I have seen neither.
14.
A set of i engraved and illustrated title-page, and 24 engravings : The title-page,
which measures 5! by sf inches = 142 by 85 mm., is signed, within the design, L.
SCHERM inv. Fee. ; upon a tablet, on which is inscribed " Don Quichot Ridder van
de Leeuwen," stands the Don with a lion ; underneath Quixote kneels on one knee
before a lady, behind him Sancho holding the bridle of Rosinante. The engravings,
marked off with a line, measure 4$ by 2f inches = 115 by 67 mm., and are unsigned ;
those for the first part, eleven in number, have, at top, above the line, " F." or
" Fol." indications ; the twelve in the second part have " deel " or " de." and " Fol."
or " F." indications. The series possesses little artistic merit. The designs of the
engravings are as those in the edition of Dordrecht, lacobus Savry, 1657 (art. 7),
re-engraved. Done for

the indication of the page to which it refers. The drawing is not very correct, but

A set of 6 engraved and illustrated title-pages, and 46 engravings, size about

which is copied from that of the edition of Dordrecht, 1657 (art- ?)> is signed H.

LUYKEN f.; while those for Vols. II., IV. and VI. have no signatures. The engravings,
in the first rive volumes, have, at top, " Tome " and " pag." indications, while those in
the sixth volume have " pag." indications only. The plates in Vol. V. only are signed
C. L., or C. LUYKEN f., or CASPER LUYKEN f. ; they are distributed as follows : Vol.
I. ii, II. 5, III. 8, IV. 8, V. 8, VI. 6, of which those of the first four volumes
belong to Don Quixote ; while those of the two latter to the continuation, many of
the plates in the first two volumes are copied from those of the edition of Dordrecht,
1657, re-engraved, and sometimes turned. The condition or quality of the plates,
notably that representing Sancho tossed, Tome i., pag. 203, varies in different
copies, as if some impressions of the plates had been used before the plates themselves
were finished. Done for

A set of 6 engraved frontispieces or title-pages, and 52 engravings, size 4^ by z\
inches = 124 by 70 mm. : The frontispieces are unsigned; that to Vol. I., which is

A set of 31 engravings, varying in size from n£ by n to 13$ by lof inches, or
from 290 by 280 to 335 by 270 mm., from paintings or drawings by the following
artists: CHARLES COYPEL (signed variously C., CH., CAR.) 25, TREMOLIERS i,
TRESMOLIER i, J. P. LE BAS i, F. BOUCHER i, COCHIN filius i, N. COCHIN fils i ;

BEAUVAIS 2, SILVESTRE i, HAUSARD i, LE>ICIER i, MICHEL AUBERT i, P. AVELINE i,
FR. POILLY i ; all signed by both artist and engraver; four are dated, viz., one 1723,
and three 1724 ; all bear a description of the subject, in French, and all, except the
first and the last, have reference to the " tome," " chap.," and sometimes to the
" livre," where the incidents may be found ; all are subscribed with indication
where they could be bought, viz., 25 "chez Louis Surugue (or Surrugue)," 3 " chez
Ravenet," 3 " chez Dupuis " ; a few bear "Avec Privilege du Roi ".
The title-page of my own set, which is undated, reads cross ways, and appears
to have been prepared for this set specially, is thus worded :
Les Aventitres de Don Quichotte de Cervantes, peintes par C. COYPEL & N. COCHIN,
Peintres du Roy. Et gravies Par Mrs. SURUGUE, Pert 6° Fils, COCHIN, RAVENET,

As these engravings were sold separately by their respective engravers, there
is a difficulty in getting together the thirty-one in a good state.
The twenty-five1 engravings after COYPEL seem to have been engraved under the
direction of that artist. The pictures themselves now adorn the walls of the Chateau
de Compiegne. They have been reproduced at the Gobelins in tapestries (art. 419).
The title-page accompanying the twenty-five engravings after Coypel reads :
Les Prinripales Avantures de r Incomparable Chevalier Errant Don Quichotte de la
Manche; peintes par CHARLES COYPEL, Premier Peintre du Roy, Et gravees sous so.
direction, par les plus habiles Artistes en ce genre. A Paris, Chez Jacques-Francois
Chereau, rue S. Jacques, aux deux Pilfers d'Or. No date.
This title-page, according to M.M. COHEN and CROTTET, is frequently wanting.
It was probably got up after the engravings were done, when it was decided to make a
special issue of those after Coypel.
I possess also the twenty-five engravings after COYPEL with the following title-
page:
L'Histoire de Don Quichote [sic] de la Manche peintre [sic] pour le Roy, Par CHARLES
COYPEL, I" Peintre de Sa Majeste en 25 Tableaux ; Et gravee par les mellieurs [sic]

A set of 9 (?) engravings, size about n by 12 inches = 280 by 305 mm., from
the designs of COYPEL (art. 22) ; all bear that artist's name, as well as those of
the engravers, all have descriptions, in English, and either " Engraved from the
Originals. Printed in Paris and Sold in London by H. Overton & J. Hoole at ye
white Horse without Newgate," or simply «' Printed and sold by," etc. ; five are dated.
As this set is uncommon, and should consist, I presume, of more than nine, I give
the titles of the nine before me, in the order in which they follow in the story, adding
the names of the engravers and the dates of those which are dated :
(1) Don Quixote, led by y* Folly, etc. I. MYNDE, 1725.
(2) Don Quixote Dubb'd Knight, etc. I. MYNDE, 1725.
(3) Don Quixote deceived by Sancho takes a Country Girl for Dulcinea, G. BICKHAM,
junr.
(4) Basile having espoused Quiterie by stratagem, is defended by Don Quixote,
I. MYNDE, 1725.
(5) Don Quixote, Supposing y* Puppets (in y* Show) to be Turks, etc. I. MYNDE.
i COHEN says 24 in error. He also introduces erroneously Picart le Remain, thereby confusing
this with the set noticed in art. 43.

A set of 24 engravings, size about io£ by uj inches =.274 by 290 mm., with
descriptions, in English, underneath, numbered, underneath the descriptions, i to
24, signed CAR. COYPEL pinx., and further subscribed " Sold by G. Vander Gucht in
Queen Street, Bloomsbury"; they are copied and turned from the set noticed in
art. 22. In that set there are twenty-five engravings after COYPEL, the one omitted
in this series is " Dorothea surprised at the bath," one of Coypel's most charming
conceptions. One would suppose that this series should also consist ot twenty-five,
but I believe that it is complete with twenty-four. The plates are not numbered in the
order in which they should follow in the story, but probably as they were executed ;
e.g., the plate entitled Wisdom delivers Don Quixote from his Madness, which is the last
in the original set, is in this series numbered 20. The engraver's name is not given,
but we may fairly attribute them to the VANDER GUCHTS, or to their pupils, and may
suppose that they were executed about 1725.
25-
An engraving, size zof by 13 inches = 270 by 328 mm., representing Sancho
tossed in the blanket (Sancho bern6), copied and turned from the engraving after
TRESMOLIER in the set noticed in art. 22. The impression in my possession is
before letters, and without signature. I suppose it to be engraved by G. VANDER
GUCHT, about 1725, and may have been intended to form part of the set after Coypel,
noticed in preceding art. (24). The copy in the British Museum is added to that set.
26.
A set of 22 engravings, size 4-^f by 5^ inches = 122 by 135 mm., from designs
by COYPEL, and turned from the original series (art. 24), engraved by I. VDR GUCHT
n, G. VDR GUCHT n, all the plates are signed by both artist and engravers, they
have, at bottom, a description of the subject, in English, and, at top, indications
of "Vol.," "chapt." or " pag." ; the engraving is rough but forcible; as the vols. in
which they were inserted are small they are always found folded. Done for

A set of 12 (?) engravings, size about 6£ by gj inches = 175 by 235 mm., of
which the first eleven, numbered by me, are after COYPEL (art. 22), although that
artist's name is not given ; all have, underneath, descriptions in English. The
set is uncommon, and I describe it plate by plate, adding name of engraver when
signed ; the engraving is bad, and the set has no artistic merit.
(1) The first plate, of which the pictorial part is rather smaller than in the others,
serves at same time as title. It is headed : The History of The admirable Don
Quixote de la Mancha, and his Man Sancho, and, in the extreme right corner, " Sold
by H. Overton & I. Hoole at the white Horse without Newgate, London " ; under-
neath, " Don Quixote led on by the Folly of an extravagant Love for Dulcinea," etc.,
unsigned, turned.
(2) Don Quixote Dubbed a Knight, etc., unsigned.
(3) Don Quixote arms his Head with the Bason of a Barber, etc., unsigned, turned.

(7) Don Quixote Supposing the Puppets (in the Show} to be Turks, etc., unsigned,

(8) Don Quixote by Sancho, desires leave to be Admitted into the Dutchesss Presence,
unsigned, turned.
(9) Don Quixote attended &f dressed by the Maids of yf Dutchess, unsigned.
(10) Sancho's Cowardice at the Hunting, unsigned, turned.
(n) Don Quixote and Sancho mounted on a Wooden Horse imagine they are
travelling through the Air, etc., unsigned, turned.
(12) Don Quixote meeting the Kings Lyons on ye road forces the Keeper to open y* cage
in order to encounter them, unsigned.
I presume this set to have been published about 1725, date of a larger set by
the same publisher (art. 25), or possibly somewhat later. PARR, whose name appears
on one of the plates, I take to be the same engraver who did the illustrations in the
English version of Avellaneda's Continuation, published in 1745, noticed among the
Continuations, post, (art. 334).

A set of coloured engravings, enclosed in double lines, size, from line to line,
frff by gf inches = 174 by 240 mm. I have seen one engraving only of this set. It
is vignetted, and imitated, but not exactly copied, from the first one of those after
COYPEL (art. 22) ; it is turned, and two trees are introduced, one on each side of the
design, which do not exist in the original ; it bears, within the lines, at top, No. 307,
underneath, the signatures, left, C.P.S.C. Maj., right, MART. ENGELBRECHT exc.
A.V. ; there are two lines of description, in French and in German, viz., Don
Quichotte conduit par la Folie, etc., and Don Quichotte von der Thorheit geleitet, etc.
Worthless. Executed probably in Paris during the popularity of Coypel's large set.
29.
A set of 6 coloured engravings, or rather engravings for colouring, enclosed in
double lines, size 5^ by 8 inches = 140 by 203 mm., each plate containing about
twelve various subjects, with references to "Tom." and "chap." added to the chief
incidents. The plates are numbered throughout, top left corner, outside the lines,
i to 6, right corner, at bottom, inside the lines, 823 to 828 ; plate No. i has, in
addition, outside the lines, above, the title of the set, Don Quichotte le Chevalier errant,
and, below, N. 146. They are all signed, outside the lines, left, C.P.S.C. Maj, or
CUM P.S.C. Maj, and, right, MARTIN ENGELBRECHT excud. A.V., or the same
abbreviated. The subjects are derived from various sources, principally from the
designs of COYPEL (art. 22). These plates were issued without any text, and were
produced for the amusement of children. They are worthless artistically, and are
scarce. Date about the same as preceding set, or rather later.

A set of i engraved and illustrated frontispiece or title-page, and 39 * engravings :
The frontispiece bears the words " Histoire du Fameux Don Quixote de la Manche,"
on drapery suspended across the design ; under it stand the Don, and Sancho, who
points with his left hand to a portrait of Dulcienea ; a water-wheel and the two animals
to the right; it is signed HUMBLOT inv., CARS sculp. The engravings, which measure
about 5 by 2f inches = 128 by 70 mm., have, at top, " Tom." and " pag." indications ;
some are unsigned, while on others are found the following signatures : BONARD inv.
17, BONNARD inv. 6, MATHEY Fecit 4, CARS sculp. 23, Grave par CREPY le Fils 4;
thirty-two belong to Don Quixote, the remaining seven to the continuation ; of the
former many are imitated from the designs of COYPEL (art. 22), although that name
does not appear, nor is there any indication of the theft, on the contrary several are
fathered by either BONARD or MATHEY; the plate marked "Tom. V., pag. ire"
belongs to the end of Vol. IV. The plate marked " Tom. I., page 318," is reproduced
in the Iconografia No. 21. Done for

This plate is found in three states, viz. :
1. Without any letters, and before the heads of the two ladies, seen at the
entrance, left, were altered.
2. Without the inscription above, " This Original Print," etc., but with the
inscription below.

In Anecdotes of William Hogarth, London, 1833, p. 208, we read that two impres-

S. Ireland had the original drawing.

A set of i portrait,1 and 68 engravings : The portrait, size 8 by 5! inches =
203 by 147 mm., subscribed " Retrato de Cervantes de Saavedra por el mismo.
Vida Cervantes, p. i," and signed " G. KENT inven'. et delin., GEO. VERTUE Londini
Sculp'." ; the same exists, with English subscription, " Portrait of Cervantes de
Saavedra by himself. Life of Cervantes, p. i," with signatures as above. Cervantes,
with a ruff round his neck, is seated at a table writing ; Don Quixote mounted and
the head of Sancho's ass are visible through the open window in the background.
The sixty-eight engravings, including a frontispiece, measure about 10 by y| inches
= 255 by 185 mm. ; they are numbered i to 68, and have " vol." and " j>." indica-
tions, except the frontispiece, which has " vol." only ; they are signed JN°. VANDER-
BANK inv'. et Delin., GER. (or GERRD.) VANDER GUCHT sculp., except the following

and the page indications altered to correspond with the English text ; the quality of
the impressions, however, in the copies I have compared, does not much vary.
Three reproductions are given in the Iconograf'ia under Nos. 12, 38, 90. In plate 4,
which bears the signature of I. VANDERBANK inv., the Innkeeper, as IRELAND
remarks, " has more than accidental resemblance to the figure drawn by HOGARTH.

for Don Quixote ; COHEN calls them "belles figures ". Done for

LOWNDES adds : " A splendid and excellent edition, published by Lord Carteret,
with plates, two of which are by HOGARTH". To be exact, let me say that plate
1 Of which no mention is made in the Iconografia.
20 ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE,
No. 3, and one figure in plate No. 4, are by HOGARTH. At p. 62 of Vol. I. is a
charming tail-piece, finely engraved, representing two knights fighting, and signed
I. V. del., P. F. sc. A word more touching the portrait, of which the subscription
is puzzling and might almost lead to the supposition that Cervantes had painted his
own likeness. There exists in fact no authentic portrait of Cervantes, and in order
to furnish his edition with this necessary embellishment Lord Carteret had to invent
one. Thus " por el mismo," or " by himself," means simply that Kent composed
the portrait after the indications which Cervantes has furnished of his own appearance
in the preface to his Nowlas Exemplares.
Concerning this and other supposed portraits of Cervantes to be mentioned
later on, I would refer my readers to the able remarks of Mr. H. E. WATTS in his life of
Cervantes prefixed to his translation of Don Quixote. About the engravings he writes :
The copper-plates were done on a scale of great magnificence, so far as the engraving was
concerned, the engravers being VIRTUE and VANDERGUCHT. The artist, however, one Vanderbusch
(sic), by no means corresponded in skill and in imagination to his author, — his inventions being
incredibly bad, vulgar, and grotesque, without any spark of real humour, or sense of harmony with the
text. Finally, there was affixed to the first volume a portrait of Cervantes, etc. With all its defects,
the edition which I have cited always as Lord CARTERET'S, is a noble book, worthy of the author and
of England, and deserving of a place in the library of every lover of Cervantes.
Amateurs desirous of diving deeper into the motives and merits of these
contested plates may be referred to the Advertencias de D. JUAN OLDFIELD Dotor en
Medidna Sobre las Estampas desta Historia at the beginning of the first volume.
In his verbose and somewhat highflown criticism, the portrait and frontispiece, as
well as the engravings, are descanted on by the worthy doctor, who compares with
them the engravings after COYPEL (art. 22) to the disparagement — unjust, I think —
of the great French artist. Dr. Oldfield's notice covers eight closely printed 4° pages.
See also arts. 43 and 72.
Baron R. PORTALIS says that Renouard owned one of the original drawings by
VANDERBANK, " spirituelle croquade sur papier gris ".

A set of 20 engravings, consisting of the sixteen " New Sculptures " noted under
art. 30, and four others ; the sixteen old plates have the page indications altered to
suit the new text ; the four additional plates, which are worse in quality than the
original sixteen, may be distinguished from them by having the vol. and page
indications at the top, right, instead of at the bottom ; they are also unsigned.

A set of 31 engravings, size about 7f by 6 inches = 195 by 155 mm.; designs
as in art. 22 ; engraved by J. v. ScHLEY2. 13, B. PICART 12, P. TANJ^ 5, S. FOKKE i ;
those by SCHLEY are dated, viz., three 1742, one 1743, one 1744, eight 1745. All
are signed by both artists and engravers ; all have descriptions of the subjects, in
French, without any indication as to the place in the book ; all are numbered,
at the bottom, I. to XXXI. in Roman numbers. They exist also without the numbers ;
and these are, according to COHEN, the first impressions. Three are facsimiled in
the Iconografia under Nos. 16, 60, 95. COHEN calls them " superbes illustrations,"
and M. E. CROTTET adds :
1 In his notice of this artist, Baron ROGER PORTALIS remarks : " L'un des travaux les plus
connus de FOLKEMA est sa reduction in 8 des figures de CHARLES COYPEL pour les Aventures de Don
Quichotte, executees avec FOKKE pour une edition parue seulement en 1768". He has overlooked the
above edition, and refers to that of Amsterdam (art. 58). Under Tanje he makes another error, giving
the date there as 1746.
2 COHEN gives this name in two ways, J.-V. SCHLEY and V. SCHLEY, both incorrect.

32 ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1746.
Les exemplaires de choix ont le texte encadr£ (which I am inclined to doubt). Les premieres
4preuves des figures ont paru dans Petition hollandaise publiee 4 la meme date (1746). Elles sont
bien superieures a celles de 1'edition francaise, meme dans 1'etat avant les numeros.
The title of the work in which, in spite of the French explanations at bottom of
each engraving, the early impressions are said to have appeared is :
De Voornaamste Gevallen van den wonderlyken Don Quichot, door den beroemden
PICART den Romein,1 En andere voornaame Meesters, in XXXI. Kunstplaaten, na de
Uitmuntende Schilderyen van COYPEL, in't Koper gebragt : Beschreeven op een' vryen
en vrolyken trant, door JACOB CAMPO WEYERMAN ; etc. In's Hage By Pieter de Hondt,
M.D.CC.XLVL
The French title-page reads as follows :
Les Printipales Avantures de fadmirable Don Quichotte, representees en figures par
COYPEL, PICART' le Remain, et autres habiles maitres : avec les explications des XXXI
planches de cette magnifique collection, tirees de I'original espagnol etc. A La Haye, Ches
Pierre de Hondt, M.DCC.XL VI. 4°.
On the title-page (also that in Dutch just cited) is a pretty vignette signed
J. v. S. fecit, representing the Don and Sancho on foot, with sheep, and a windmill,
surmounted by a head, two of the sails holding a club and a sword ; another charming
engraving, signed J. v. SCHLEY, del. et sculp. 1746, but without reference to the text,
heads the dedication on p. 3.
Here is the account furnished by the editor, in his Avertissement, of these :
Estampes qui en representoient agreablement les principales Avantures.
Des divers Recueils de cette derniere Espece, celui, que le celebre CHARLES COYPEL nous a donne
vers le Terns de la Majorite de Loui's XV. est sans contredit le meilleur & le plus estimable, en ce
qu'il n'y a rien neglige, nonseulement par rapport aux Regies de son Art, mais meme par rapport
aux Moeurs, Coutumes, Habillemens, & autres Usages d'Espagne, d'ou il a pris un Soin tout particulier
de s'en faire envoier des Desseins, pris expres sur les Lieux-memes, & que de 1'Aveu mdme des
Espagnols il a parfaitement bien representez. Aussi les Gravures, qu'il en publia alors, furent-elles si
bien re9ues, si generalement recherch£es, & si promtement enlevees, qu'elles ne tarderent pas a devenir
rares, & consequemment d'un Prix excessif.
Pour ne point laisser ainsi manquer une Collection si agreable & si generalement estimee, et
singulierement afin de pouvoir en accommoder les Curieux a beaucoup meilleur Compte, le celebre
BERNARD PICART le Remain forma le Dessin de la reduire en Planches de Forme in quarto, & en
executa meme ainsi une Douzaine. Mais, sa Mort, survenue trop tot en 1733, tant pour le Public
en general, que pour sa Famille & ses Amis en particulier, n'ai'ant pas permis qu'il put remplir lui-meme
cette utile Entreprise, quelques-uns de ses Eleves, & divers autres bons Graveurs, viennent enfin de la
conduire heureusement a sa Fin : & c'est cette belle & magnifique Collection que nous offrons
presentement au Public.
Elle consiste en XXXI Planches, qui representent effectivement, ainsi que le promet notre litre,
les principales & les plus interessantes Avantures de ['admirable Don Quichotte, dont on verra
particulierement les Sujets dans la Table que nous avons placee i la Fin de ce Volume : &, afin
d'en procurer la parfaite Intelligence & ceux qui pourroient n'etre point au Fait de cette divertissante
1 This is an error. ETIENNE PICART, the father of BERNARD, was styled " Le Remain ".
2 From the wording of the above title-page one would infer that some of the plates had been
designed by Picart. This is, of course, not the case.

A set of 19 ? round medallion engravings, size 5f inches = 135 mm., not signed,
executed for decorative purposes, not to illustrate any edition of Don Quixote ; they
are not original in design, seventeen of those before me are copied from the set
noticed in art. 22, viz., COYPEL 15, TRESMOLIER i, LE BAS i, COCHIN fils i,
sometimes turned, frequently with a less number of figures than in the original
engravings ; the source whence the nineteenth is taken I do not know. As these
engravings are very scarce, and as there should, probably, be more than eighteen, I
note the subjects of those before me, comparing them with, and borrowing the titles
from, the original set.

signature. The engravings, size 4 by ?\ inches = 103 by 64 mm., have, at top,
"Vol." and "Page" indications, and underneath, enclosed with lines, descriptions
in English; they are unsigned, and are copied, and generally turned, from the
engravings after COYPEL and others (art. 22). The engraving is bad and very
irregular, some of the plates seem even to be unfinished ; altogether a worthless set.

bears the name of the publisher, "A Paris chez Radigues(or Radigue) Rue St. Jacque
auec Priuilege du Roy"; no date; one only is signed; the first ten only are
numbered, in top left corner. As this set, which may perhaps require more than
sixteen engravings, is very uncommon, I specify each plate separately :

26 ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1755.
(n.) " Donquichotte, Liv. I., Chap. 3eme. The allegorical representation of the
Don's first sortie, evidently imitated from Coypel (art. 22).
(12.) "Don Quichotte. livre 3, chapitre 21." Liberation of the galley-slaves.
(13.) " Don Quichotte, livre 6, chap. 7." Quixote set at liberty by Captain Roque.
(14.) " Don Quichotte, Combat Centre Les marionette (sic). Liv. VI., chap. XXVI."
(15.) "Don Quichotte. Ch. dernier de la seconde partie, Chapitre XLIV." Quixote
being taken home in a cage.
(16.) " L'avanture de la Barque Enchantee. chap. XXIX." This is the only one
signed; it bears the signature of (left) RICAR delineauit, (right) ANTONIUS RADIGUES
Minor Sculpsit. Although the Don holds his sword in his left hand, the drawing is
above the average.
The titles and indications given above are verbatim and, as they appear on
each plate. The incorrectness of some of them is not confined to peculiarities of
spelling or printer's blunders ; No. 7, for instance, in spite of its indication, repre-
sents the Don suspended by his wrist to a window, and Rosinante passing from
under him.
Rarity is the exclusive merit of this series, of which the drawing is bad, the
engraving worse, and the paper used of the vilest description.
The same engravings also exist with the publisher's name now altered to
"A Paris chez Jac. (or J., or without initial) Chereau Rue St. Jacque avec priuilege
du Roy".
5°-
A set of 20 (?) engravings, size, exclusive of lettering underneath, about i\ by
I2j inches = 198 by 312 mm., unsigned ; four have: "A Paris chez Crepy rue S*.
Jacques " ; six have : " A Paris rue S'. Jacques " only ; the remaining ten have neither
name nor address of publisher. Some are with, some without, Don Quichotte under-
neath ; but all have quotations, in French and Spanish, of from two to eight lines.
They are sometimes found coloured. As I presume the set to require more than
twenty pieces, I give the references on those before me : Tom. I. ch. 3 ; Tome I.
ch. VIII; Tom. I. ch. 22; Lib. III. cap. XVI; Tom. 3. chap. 20; liv. 4. C. 29;
Liv. V. c. 10 ; Lib. 5. Cap. 14 ; Liv. V. ch. XVII ; Tom. V. ch. 19 ; Liv. VI. Chap.
XXI ; Liv. VI. ch. XXVI ; Liv. VI. ch. 30 ; Liv. 6. Ch. 31 ; Liv. VII. Chap. XXXIV ;
Liv. VII. ch. XLI ; Liv. 7. chap. 44 ; Livre. 7. chap. 47 ; Liv. VIII. chap. LIII. ; Liv.
VIII. chap. 73. These engravings were probably published about the same time as
those of Radigues (art. 49), and in competition with him, but are generally inferior to
his work. Exception however may be made in favour of the four which bear CREPY'S
name, and which were no doubt engraved by him ; they are superior to the others.

A set of i frontispiece (see also art. 1 14), and 27 engravings, size about 9 by 7
inches = 230 by 180 mm., all signed by the inventor, F. HAYMAN, and by the

following engravers : C. GRIGNION 12, G. SCOTIN 6, I. S. MOLLER 2, RAVENET 2,
S. RAVENET 2, S. F. RAVENET 4; all have " Vol." and " pag." indications. Of this
bold and effective series two will be found reproduced in the Iconografia under Nos.
30 and 74. In his Wine and Walnuts, I., 177, W. H. PYNE mentions " COLLINS

man's Don Quixote". Done for

Millar, etc. (and five others). MDCCL V. 4°.
EDWARD DAYES remarks :
HAYMAN'S manner is decisive, and firm, but hard ; and his drawing is incorrect ; yet . . . His
pictures of Don Quixote were so well received, that he had an order to paint two copies for Madrid.
If his manner was not pure, he has the merit of originality, and may be considered as the English
Cimmabue.
Hayman's original drawings are in the print room at the British Museum.
52.
A set of i engraved title-page, and 32 engravings : The title-page, which has
in the centre "Histoire de Don Quichotte," is allegorical, without volume indication,
and is signed, outside the design, EBEN sc. The engravings, surrounded by a thick
line, measure 4^ by 2 if inches = 118 by 72 mm. ; they have all, at top, " Tome"
and " page " indications, but no descriptions ; all not are signed ; some bear the
signature of IOH. MICH. EBEN sc. Francfurth, others I. M. EBEN sc., with, or without,
the name of the town ; the first twenty-four, which refer to Don Quixote, are from
COYPEL'S designs, turned from the original engravings noticed in art. 22 ; the
remaining eight belong to the continuation. Done for

28 ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1765-1766.
r> 54-
A set of 2 allegorical title-vignettes, and 43 wood-cuts, size about z\ by 3 J inches
= 57 by 82 mm., unsigned. Each title-vignette is used twice. The cuts are placed
at the heads of the chapters, and have descriptions above them, except that at
Vol. II., chapt. XXX., of which the description is underneath, and that at Vol. III.,
chapt. I., which is placed in the text, and has no description. These wood-cuts are
rough, crude, and more curious than beautiful. They are imitated, in many instances,
from those of the edition of Madrid, 1741 (art. 40). Done for

Each volume has "a double title-page. In spite of the indication on the title-page,
there are only 43 cuts. A specimen is given in the Iconografla No. 47. The same
blocks were again used in the edition, Madrid MDCCLXXXII. Par D. Manuel
Martin, calle de la Cruz, donde se hallard. Con las licencias necesarias, with the following
slight deviations : the cut at Vol. II., chapt. XXX., has the description above it like
the others ; that at Vol. II., chapt. LIL, is omitted, and is replaced by the one belonging
to Vol. III., chapt. XXXV., which is consequently used twice, making up the 43 cuts.
55-
A set of 31 engravings, including a frontispiece, and Don Quixote in his study,
size about 5^- by 3^ inches = 130 by 80 mm., numbered, at top, " Plate i " to 31 ;
the frontispiece has, also at top, "Vol. I. Frontispiece," and the other engravings
" Vol." and " facing pa." indications ; they are all unsigned, but the designs are
those of I. VANDERBANK, and they are probably engraved by G. VANDER GUCHT ;
they correspond with the following numbers of the 4to edition (art. 39), viz. : I, 2, 4,
7, 9, ii, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 27, 30, 31 turned, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39, 48
turned, 50, 54 turned, 56, 60 turned, 61, 62 turned, 68. In comparing this series with
that in the 8vo edition of 1749 (art. 45), it would seem that twenty-four of the plates
are the same, somewhat reduced in size, to suit the smaller form of the book ; the
following Nos., however, are new, and are not found in the set issued in 1749, viz. :
Plates n, 13, 14, 15, 20, 25, 27 ; this is almost proved by the fact that the five which
are turned in the edition of 1749 are also turned, and the only ones turned, in this.

A set of i engraved title-page, and 31 engravings : The title-page, size 6J by 3^
inches = 160 by 95 mm., has, in the centre, " Don Miguel Cervantes Historic von
Don Quichotte," without any further indication, and is signed, underneath, outside
the design, C. F. BOETIUS del. et fc., in spite of which it is distinctly copied from
that signed EBEN in the edition of Francfort, M.DCC.LVII. (art. 52), but much
improved and better engraved. The engravings, surrounded by frames, measure, with
the frames, 5f by 3^ inches = 145 by 87 mm., and are copied, and generally turned,
from those after COYPEL and others (art. 22), although the names of these artists are
not given ; they have underneath, inside the frames, descriptions in German, and
"Thl" and " S" or " Seite" indications; only three are signed, STOCK, M. STOCK,
and I. M. STOCK respectively, as the engraver. The engraving is poor, and the set
has little value. Done for

top, and is numbered, underneath, I. The engravings, numbered also underneath,

descriptions in French, but no vol. or page indications ; they measure, from line

34 ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1780.
todas en vano. Tal vez han perecido por injuria de los tiempos, y por el descuido que generalmente
ha habido en conserva los retratos de los hombres ilustres de la nacion, 6 acaso estaran cubiertos de
polvo y abandonados en poder de quien ignore que los tiene, 6 no sepa apreciarlos.
Despues con noticia que tuvo 4a Academia, de que en Sevilla habia un retrato antiguo de
Cervantes en poder del Conde del Aguila, Academico honorario, le escribio por medio de su Secretario,
pidi£ndole que permitiese sacar una copia de el. Pero este caballero tuvo la generosidad de regalarsele
& la Academia, y remitirle inmediatamente, diciendo, que le habia comprado en esta Corte algunos
anos habia a un comerciante de pinturas, el qual se le vendio por de ALONSO DEL ARCO, y que visto
despues por algunos inteligentes habian convenido en que era de la misma mano. Este pintor,
segun Palomino en su Museo Pictorico, florecio en el siglo pasado, y murio el primer ano del presente
a los setenta y cinco de su edad.
Luego que vino el retrato se advirtio, que era tan parecido al de la edicion de Londres de 1738,
que el uno debia ser precisamente copia del otro : y aunque la pintura manifestaba bastantemente
no serlo de la estampa, como el Doctor Oldfield en las advertencias que puso a dicha edicion asegura,
que por mas solicitud que se puso, no se hallo retrato alguno de Miguel dc Cervantes, y al pie de la
estampa se dice que es sacado por el mismo, esto es por la relacion que el hace de su persona en sus
obras, para salir de esta duda se dio a reconocer a los pintores de Camara de S. M. y Directores
de pintura de la Real Academia de San Fernando Don Antonio Gonzalez y Don Andres de la Calleja
practices en el conocimiento de pinturas antiguas, y entrambos, despues de haber cotejado la pintura
con la estampa de Londres, declararon por escrito : Que el retrato pintado es mncho mas antiguo que
la estampa, porque el lienzo donde esta, por su vejez sc conoce no ser de este siglo, como tambien por el
rancio de los colores, y ser el estilo de las escuelas de Vicencio Carducho y Eugenia Caxes, que jlorecieron
en tiempo dc Felipe IV, y juntamcntc se reconoce estar retocado nuevamente todo el vestido, y mas de la
mitad de la gorgucra del lado derecho, y algunas pinceladas en el rostra ; pero el fondo principal del
rostra y gorguera es del tiempo dicho. Tambien se vc, que el rostra de la estampa esta sacado puntual-
mente par el pintado, porque a la impresion de la lamina resulta la estampa al contrario, y si hubicran
copiado dicho retrato por la estampa, estuvieran ambos a un mismo lado. Tambien nos parece
(continuan dichos pintores) no ser retrato voluntario (el pintado) por tener los efectos del natural en
el claro y obscuro, que resulta del natural mismo, aunque se notan algunos defectos en el dibuxo, y
como es la boca diminuta, y la nina del ojo ixquierdo mas circular que la derecha, dcbiendo ser al
contrario, porque siendo esferico el ojo, debe ser mas ovada la nina del lado que escorza mas : y esto
mismo prueba estar sacado dicho retrato for otro mejor y mas antiguo.
No es facil conciliar esta declaracion con lo que dice la estampa de Londres, y el Doctor Oldfield
en sus advertencias. Lo cierto es, que no parece natural, que un retrato imaginario sacado de una
mera relacion, qual se supone el de Londres, pueda tener una tan perfecta uniformidad con otro que
no sea copia de el, 6 al contrario, como tiene la estampa inglesa con la pintura espanola. Esta es
sin duda mucho mas antigua que aquella, aun quando sea de Alonso del Arco, y no del tiempo de
Carducho y Caxes, como dice la anterior declaracion : la qual, y el convenir perfectamente dicha
pintura con todas las senas que Cervantes da de si mismo, producen una conjetura muy racional y
fundada, de que es copia de algun buen original hecho en vida de Cervantes, y acaso del de Jauregui,
o Pacheco arriba mencionados.
The frontispieces are in reality but two, the one serving for "Tom." i y 2, the
other for "Tom." 3 y 4, as duly indicated above each design; both are signed ; the
former is designed by ANTONIO CARNICERO and engraved by FERNANDO SELMA, and
dated Madrid, 1780 ; the latter designed by PEDRO ARNAL, Arquitecto,1 engraved
by JUAN DE LA CRUZ, Geografo de S.M. ; their size is nearly identical with the
portrait above mentioned.
1 COHEN gives this indication of the artist's profession as a separate proper name.
ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1780. 35
The thirty-one : engravings, about the same size as the portrait, are all signed,
and bear, at top, " Tom." and " Page " indications ; they are designed by ANTONIO
CARNICERO 19, JOSEPH DEL CASTILLO 7, BERNARDO BARRANCO 2, JOSEPH BRUNETE i,
GERONIMO GIL i, GREGORIO FERRO i ; and are engraved by J. JOAQUIN FABREGAT 8,
FRANCISCO MUNTANER 6, FERNANDO SELMA 5, JOAQUIN BALLESTER 4, MANUEL
SALVADOR Y CARMONA 3, PEDRO PASQUAL MOLE'S 2, JUAN BARCELON 2, GERONIMO
A°. GIL i ; fifteen are dated Madrid, 1777, 1778, 1779, 1780. In spite of the
important position which these engravings hold among the illustrations to Don
Quixote, great praise cannot be bestowed on them ; they are generally stiff and
conventional in design, without power, grace, or movement ;* nor is the engraving,
as a rule, good. They are valuable, however, on account of the costume. On this
point the "Academia" remarks:
Para que estas ademas de la bondad del dibuxo y grabado, tuviesen tambien el me'rito de la
propiedad en los trages, se ban tornado en el Real Palacio nuevo, y en el del Buen Retiro de varias
pinturas y retratos del tiempo, en que supone Cervantes haber existido los personages de su fabula.
Las armas y armadura de Don Quixote se ban dibuxado por los originales del mismo tiempo, que
existen en la armeria del Rey nuestro Senor. Y para los asuntos de las l£minas se han escogido las
aventuras mas principales, cuidando de representarlas en aquel punto, 6 accion, que las distingue y
caracteriza mas.
In the several copies of the book which have passed through my hands the
engravings are without descriptions. I have seen, however, a set of the engravings
without letter-press, but with descriptions underneath them ; these, according to
BRUNET, are supposed to be early impressions.
Three of the engravings are reproduced in the Iconografia, viz., Nos. 10, 88,
and 100. I add the opinion of Mr. H. E. WATTS :
The plates were designed by the most famous Spanish artists of the day. They are a little less
grotesque, because more Spanish, than in previous editions, and are fairly well engraved ; but still
absurdly false, affected, and inappropriate, — the artists appearing not to have given themselves the
trouble of reading the book illustrated. The portrait, professing to be taken from an original picture
in the possession of the Conde del Aguila, is merely a reproduction of KENT'S imaginary picture oi
Cervantes (see art. 39), with a few details and flourishes introduced.
The twenty-five headpieces and twenty tailpieces, all signed, a few only having
special reference to the text, are beautiful in design and delicate in execution ; the
designers are ANTONIO CARNICERO 34, RAPHAEL XIMENO 5, ISIDORO CARNICERO 3 ;
the engravers F. S. 14, JUAN MINGUET 12, J. PALOMIO 6, S. BRIEVA 4, MARIANO
BRANDI 3, J. J. FABREGAT 2, J. BALLESTER i ; two are signed only by S. BRikvA, one
by MIGUEL DE LA CUESTA only.
The thirteen ornamental letters, which bear no signatures, are finely engraved,
and correspond well with the headpieces and tailpieces.
1 SIEURIN, strangely enough, gives no description of this notable set, but he has the following,
which I take to be in error : " 22 gravures in-12 et un portrait de 1'edition d'Ibarra," or relating to
another set.

A set of i portrait, and 31 (?) engravings, same size and designs as those in the
4° edition of Madrid, Ibarra, 1780 (art. 72). I have before me a broken set only ; the
portrait is turned and unsigned ; the engravings, of which I possess sixteen, are
generally, not always, turned, and bear the following signatures : JOSEPH DEL
CASTILLO, JOSEPH CASTILLO, JOSEPH D. L. CASTILLO, JOSEPH DL. CASTILLO, ANTONIO
CARNIZERO (sic), BERNARDO BARRENCO (sic), as designers ; as engravers, LAVALLE"E,
LEROY, CHAPUY, TASAERT ; and as printers, in the middle, between the signatures of
artist and engraver, LANGLOIS and LE ROY. My set is coloured. I presume that
the date of production is not long after the Madrid original.
74-
A set of i portrait, 6 title-vignettes, and 24 engravings : The portrait, size
5i3F by 2f inches = 132 by 70 mm., is signed and dated D. CHODOWIECKI del., D.
BERGER Sc. 1780 ; the head and shoulders of Cervantes, with large ruff round the
neck, are in a round frame, surrounded by a ribbon scroll ; underneath are a wreath,
sword, spear, helmet, shield, gloves, and spurs, the whole resting on a base, upon
which is inscribed the name Cervantes ; it is well engraved. The six engravings on
title-pages, which are vignetted, are signed (Erster Theil) D. CHODOWIECKI del., D.
BERGER sc. ; (zweiter) D. CHODOWIECKI del., D. BERGER sculpsit ; (the four others)
D. CHOD. del., D. BERGER sc. ; all have underneath, left, " Th." indications. The
engravings, numbered at top, I. to XXIV., with "Th." indications, measure from 4^
to 5! by 2f inches = 123 to 131 by 70 mm. ; they are all signed D. CHODOWIECKI del.,
D. BERGER Sc., and dated, the first twelve, 1779, the remainder 1780. Done for

A set of i portrait, 4 (or 6) vignettes, and 29 (?) engravings, designed by D.
CHODOWIECKI, engraved by D. BERGER, of which seventeen are for Don Quixote and
twelve for the continuation of AVELLANEDA. Thus the note in the Iconografia,
where two of the engravings are reproduced under Nos. 36 and 99, both of which
ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1781. 37
are identical in design with two in the set of Weimar, 1775 (art 69). I have seen
one only of this set, which measures 5 by 2^-J- inches = 127 by 69 mm., and is
signed and dated D. CHODOWIECKI del., D. BERGER Sc. 1781. The title-page given
in the Iconografla, as belonging to this set, is that (with several errors) of Leipzig,
1780 (art. 74), which appears to be false, as the engravings date one year later
than the title-page.
76.
SIEURIN notes : " 37 gravures in-8°, dont 29 petites et 8 in-8°, grav6es d'apres

A set of 4 coloured engravings, surrounded by a line, size lof by 15^ inches =
275 by 385 mm., signed SCHALL pin'., DESCOURTIS sculp*., with the title Don Quichotte,
five lines of quotation, in French, and "A Paris chez Descourtis, Qua! des Augustins,
No. 31," underneath. The subjects are: (i) Quixote knighted ; (2) Sancho pleading
with three peasant women for his master ; (3) Quixote and Sancho on the
wooden horse, upon which they were to be lifted into the air ; (4) The Don tied by
the hand to a window, his horse walking away from under him. MM. PORTALIS and
BERALDI qualify them with justice " fort mauvais ".
78.
A set of 1 6 (?) engravings, enclosed with double lines, size, from line to line,
about 6J by g£ inches = 170 by 240 mm., unsigned ; taken from the designs of
Coypel (art. 22). These rough engravings were executed towards the end of the
last century, not for an edition of Don Quixote, but for decorative purposes. Possibly
more than sixteen are required to complete the series ; consequently I describe those
in my possession in the order in which the adventures depicted occur in the book :
(1) Don Quichotte conduit par la Folie, etc. This and all other titles below, and

order in which the plates follow in the story ; the borders are all of the same design,
but vary in engraving. A very pretty set, although quite English in character.

Arts. The drawing is good and the attitudes expressive. At p. 212 of the volume
they are thus described :
LIX, LX. SANCHO PANC.A
These plates exhibit that celebrated character in four different situations, (i.) offering combat
to his antagonist the barber, wherein we remark that how bold soever his fists may appear, the rest
of his figure preserves a considerable distance, wisely placing generalship in securing a retreat ; (2.) his
prowess alarmed at the oracular head ; (3.) laughing at one of his master's vagaries ; (4.) endeavouring
to maintain the judicial character of the governor of Baratana. These plates refer to LECTURE VIII.

A set of i portrait, 5 engraved and illustrated title-pages, and 17 l engravings :
The portrait, which is oval and surrounded by a line, measures 2f by i\ inches

subscribed, " Engraved by E. MACKENZIE from a Painting of Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS
R A. Printed for C. Cooke, JanT. 9, 1821 " ; it is poorly engraved in stipple, and
is not found, as its date indicates, in the first edition of the book for which the
engraved title-pages and engravings were done. The engraved title-pages and
engravings have served at least three times, their indications, dates, signatures, etc.,
changed ; to avoid confusion, it will be necessary to note each one separately. The
title-pages :
Vol. I. " R. CORBOULD del., W. HAWKINS sculp. Embellish'd under the
direction of C. Cooke, June 25, 1796. Don Quixote and the Shepherd, vide Vol. i

A set of i portrait, 6 engravings in the text,1 48 full-page engravings : The

Cervantes Saavedra, measures 35 by if inches = 90 by 48 mm., and is signed J.
LOPEZ ENGUIDS. del., T. LOPEZ ENGUIDS. sc. ; it is similar to that of the edition of
Madrid, Ibarra, 1780 (art. 72). The engravings in the text, or headpieces, one to
each volume, are vignetted, and measure about I by i-f inches = 27 by 48 mm. ;
four are signed T. L. E., the other two are without signature. The full-page
engravings, all in frames, with a tablet below bearing descriptions, in Spanish, of
the subject of each plate, measure about 3$ by -2\ inches = 92 by 54 mm. ; they are
all designed by ANTONIO RODRIGUEZ, whose abbreviated signature they bear at the

size 5f by 4 inches = 143 by 103 mm. ; signed RAFL. XIMENO delineavit, P«.
DUFLOS sculpgit. The other portrait, size 5^ by 4 inches = 140 by 103 mm., in
which Cervantes, in costume of the period, and at full length, is offering his book
to a goddess seated on clouds, pointing to the temple of fame, behind whom is
Mercury ; there are three nude figures reclining on the ground, to left ; it is signed
MONNET delineavit, PRE DUFLOS sculpcit. Thirty-one1 engravings, same measure-
ments as above-mentioned portraits, are designed by AUG". NAVARRO 18, RAPHAEL
XIMENO (including a bust-portrait of Dulcinea) 5, P. CAMARON 5, J. CAMARON i,
PARET i, and one signed PT. ; engraved by MORENO TEJADA ro, PIERRE DUFLOS 18,
Femme DUFLOS 3. The signatures vary slightly, sometimes initials only are used ;
in one or two instances TEJADA signs MORENO simply ; on one engraving, or rather
one state of the engraving, P. CAMARON is spelt with K ; two are dated, in some
states only, 1797. The signatures, sometimes reversed, are below, outside the
design, except in a few instances where DUFLOS will be found within the design.
These engravings, including the two portraits, exist in three states, viz., signed,
unsigned, and in pure etchings (eaux-fortes). The two head-pieces in the text,
heading the Prologos, measure 2 by 3^ inches = 50 by 85 mm., and are signed PARET
del. MORENO sc'. ; the former is dated 1796, the latter is undated, and partially
vignetted (a claire-voie). The three maps are (i) Demonstration de la celebre Cueva
de Montesinos, with Vista exterior de la entrada, signed PARET del. on same sheet ;

In Vol. V., pp. 427 to 436, will be found a full Esplicacion de las Estampas,

are dated MDCCLXXXXVIII.
The same series of plates will be found in the edition, Madrid, en casa del editor
Calle de Preciados 68, 1853. 8°, 4 vols.
Although these engravings rank among the finest produced in Spain, their
composition is not always happy, nor their drawing invariably correct. The figures
are too lanky, and they lack movement. The costume, however, is fairly correct.
Mr. H. E. WATTS remarks : "The nuevas estampas promised are by Navarro, — of
a hideousness equal to any of the old ".
1 " 20 laminas " only are mentioned in the Iconografia, where two of the engravings are
reproduced, Nos. 43 and 64.
2 This edition is noted by COHEN, col. 104, as with " 33 figures assez belles," most of the
names being incorrectly spelt. M. E. CROTTET, col. 13, corrects the mistakes.

A set of i portrait, and 24 engravings : The portrait, which measures 5$- by 3
inches = 130 by 77 mm., represents Cervantes in an oval frame, against which
leans, to left, an oval portrait of Don Quixote, and, to right, a lyre, etc. ; underneath,
a reclining girl at a fountain with two sheep and a dog; it is signed, with the
point, by both designer and engraver, viz. F. M. QUEVERDO del., and C. S. GAUCHER

enclosing, underneath, a space for inscription, which is however left blank, measure,
from line to line, 4$ by 3 inches = 125 by 77 mm. ; they are numbered, at top, II.

A set of 9 engravings, of various sizes ; plates i and 3 to 8 measure about 5^ by
4 inches = 130 by 103 mm., plate 2, 5^ by 2f- inches = 135 by 75 mm., plate 9, 4 by
4! inches = 101 by 114; they have all, at the top, the words " Don Quixote" and
are all numbered "PI." i to 8 and "N°. IX"; the first eight have "Page" indi-
cations, the ninth has none; all are signed W. HOGARTH Inv*; plates i to 8 are
engraved and signed by I. MILLS, plate IX by W. SKELTON ; all have, underneath,
"Published March 1798". I have seen proofs of some of these plates without
this indication. Published in Vol. III. of Hogarth Illustrated by John Ireland. Pub.
June i, 1791, by J. & J. Boydell etc. 8°, 3 vols. The third volume, or supplement,
dates 1798. Third edition, 1812.
JOHN IRELAND observes concerning these :
Nine prints for Don Quixote. The first of these prints (The First Sally) is copied from a plate in
Jarvis's quarto translation of this inimitable work ; it has neither painter nor engraver's name, but
carries indisputable marks of the pencil and burine of Hogarth. The second (The Inn-Keeper), is
from an unfinished print in my possession, which I think by the same artist. The six which follow
were designed for Lord Carteret's Spanish edition, published in the year 1738, but as they are etched in
a bold and masterly style, I suppose the noble peer did not think they were pretty enough to embellish
his volume, and therefore laid them aside for Vandergucht's engravings from Vanderbank's designs
(art. 39).
Concerning Plate 2, IRELAND remarks further :
The original of this print . . . was designed to represent the inn-keeper conferring the order of
knighthood on Don Quixote, but for some cause, not now known, never finished. The artist probably
intended that it should form a part of the series begun for Lord Carteret, but, the other six being
discarded, never completed his design ; though a slight outline of the Don kneeling to receive his new
honours is discernible in the corner of the print: mine host, though a large man, is a less portly
ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1799. 49
personage than the author describes. The print is not in any of the catalogues of Hogarth's works,
but the style leaves little doubt of the artist.
In the plate from VANDERBANK, in Jarvis's quarto, representing the whole scene, the innkeeper
has a more than accidental resemblance to this figure.
The same nine prints appear in Anecdotes of William Hogarth written by himself:
etc. London: J. B. Nichols & Son, 1833. In this issue, they are without any super-
scription, the words " Don Quixote " and the plate enumeration being below ; further,
they are now " Published by Nichols & Son, Feb. i, 1832 ". They are also repro-
duced by process in Vol. III. of Hogarth's Works, published by Chatto and Windus,
without date.

MASQUELIER 2, C. S. GAUCHER 2. There are "Tome" and "Page" indications
above, and descriptions, in French, below the design ; the indications and signatures
are outside the line which finishes off the engraving ; one only, that for Tom. 2,
chap. XVI, pag. 387, is dated " an VII " ; two have a third signature, between the
two others, viz. COINY aqua fort. The same set exists before letters, i.e., without
indications or descriptions, some signed, others unsigned. "Jolie collection," says
SIEURIN, " dont il y a des eaux-fortes et des epreuves avant la lettre". I have not
seen the eaux-fortes. Two will be found reproduced in the Iconografia under Nos. 42

the temple of glory to Don Quixote. The engravings measure, including the frame
with which they are surrounded, if by 2j inches = 45 by 53 mm. ; they are designed
by F. ALCANTARA 18, PARET 14 ; and engraved by MORENO TEJADA 28, B. AMETLLER,

A set of 8 etchings,8 size 3^ by 2f inches = 90 by 60 mm., from designs by
HONORE FRAGONARD, engraved by VIVANT DENON, without titles or indications ; six
have the signatures of both artist and engraver, generally abbreviated, inside the
design ; two are unsigned. I have the set before me, struck off in " sanguine " as
well as black. The original drawing of one, Quixote knighted, is in the collection
of M. Groult of Paris (art. 426) ; the engraving is turned, and the inn-keeper conse-
quently holds the sword in his left hand. The etchings were done probably at the
end of the last, or quite the beginning of the present, century, although the set
before me was, I believe, struck off by the publisher Barraud. (See also art. 312).
99.
A set of 7 (?) engravings, size 17^ by 26| inches = 450 by 680 mm., unsigned,
with titles, in French and Spanish, quotations, four to eight lines each, also in
French and Spanish, references, and publisher's name and address, underneath. As
more than seven engravings are, I presume, required to complete the series, I give
the French titles, etc., of those before me :
1 M. E. CROTTET, who notices this edition at some length, mentions 8 vcls. only ; he ignores the
portrait, and speaks of no more than " 30 delicieuses vignettes a mi-page ". The name of the engraver
Tejada he spells incorrectly "Tepada". He appears to have confused the illustrations in this edition
with those in that of Madrid MDCCXCVIII (art. 92) by Antonio Rodriguez, whose name he shortens
to " Rodez ". He qualifies these latter productions as " figures ravissantes ".
2 A portrait of Denon usually goes with the set, making nine etchings in all.

From the notice of PIERRE MICHEL ALIX in Les Graveurs du Dix-huitieme Sihle
I extract the following :
Alix s'est occup£ de la gravure d'estampes pour illustrer Don Quichotte, s'il faut en croire ce
billet, adresse au citoyen Rigaud, galerie du Louvre : " Avant huit jours j'aurais 1'avantage de presenter
A Monsieur Rigaud une epreuve terminee de la troisieme planche de Don Quichotte. Je le supplie, en
consequence, de remettre un petit a-compte A mon epouse, il m'obligera beaucoup. P. M. ALIX.
Paris, 10 brumaire an 9." Et au bas, de la main de Madame Alix: " Reju dix-huit livres 4-compte
comme dessus. Alix." — Au verso de la feuille, autre re$u : " Reju du citoyen Didot la somme de
dix livres pour solde de la planche de Don Quichotte represente & cheval lisant et Sancho tirant du
linge d'une valise, Paris, ce 9 frimaire an IX, femme Alix ".
Vingt-huit livres pour une planche ! Ou sont les beaux temps de la gravure ? On voit bien
que la Revolution a passe par la. Apres tout, c'est peutetre juste ce que valait la planche d'Alix.
I have not seen these engravings.

Say, who published this print himself, seems to have soon sold the copper, as
we find coloured copies of the same with the word Dorothea in closed letters ;
H. Macklin substituted for the engraver's name, after the word servant, and the
place and date of publication altered to " London. Published Jany. icth. 1804, by
H. Macklin, N° 39 Fleet Street."
This is a charming composition ; Dorothea's position is natural, and her face
expressive of great fear at being surprised by the three men whose heads appear
above the bank behind her.
The same subject was again engraved by WILLIAM SAY on a smaller scale, viz.,
12^ by 7! inches = 310 by 195 mm. I have only seen the etching of it in the Print
Room of the British Museum.
The original picture of CLARKE is in the possession of M. Groult of Paris.

The title-pages, or rather title-page, as the same design serves for both, are signed
MACKENZIE sculp., and have the name of the publishers and date as above ; they are
vignetted, and represent Quixote, partially clothed, seated on a bank, a spear in his
right hand ; the head of Sancho grinning appears on the left, and behind is a

have tablets on top and bottom ; on that above is engraved Don Quixote, on that

" Tom." i to 6 ; they are the same as those of the edition of Paris, Gide, 1806 (art.
1 06), but the ornaments in the centres of the plates differ, and the engraving is very
inferior. Done for

Briand, etc. 1810. 12°, 6 vols.
114.
A set of i frontispiece, and 12 engravings, from designs by F. HAYMAN (art. 51) :
The frontispiece measures 6| by 3^ inches = 165 by 90 mm., including ornaments
above, and compartment below, the design ; in the compartment is the word Frontis-
piece ; it is signed F. HAYMAN delin., WARREN sculp., and is subscribed, " Published
by J. Stratford, n 2, Holborn Hill, Febr. 2d. 1811 ". Concerning this frontispiece, or
rather that of art. 51, the publisher offers the following :
Explanation of the Frontispiece. In the Quarto Edition of Dr. Smollett's translation of Don
Quixote, Hayman's Frontispiece appears without any description. The Editor of this Edition does
not pretend to penetrate the full scope of the Painter's intention, but submits his ideas by way of
explanation, leaving it to the Reader to alter, amend, or enlarge upon them as his own judgment
shall dictate. In the Frontispiece the Designer seems to have imbibed the true spirit of Cervantes,
and to have made a full display of the extravagance of Quixotism or Knight-Errantry. The strong
Castles, which had been raised in the romantic ages of Chivalry, are here represented as falling to
ruins on the appearance of Minerva, who by the mirror which she holds in her hand, reflecting the rays
of science on the edifices of folly, exposes at once the ridiculous notions of romance. The gloom of
falsehood being exposed, Truth hastily advances on the mansion of superstition, where the shield is
suspended over the castle-gate ; which she cleaves asunder, and by putting her hand against the gate
the fabric gives way, the pillars separate into their different parts, and the massy building falls to the
ground : While the Knight-Errant, with his Squire, placed in the shade, seem to be attempting to
defend against the emanations of light and wisdom, two ladies who are travelling at a distance.
The engravings, all but one, are surrounded by one, or, in one case, two lines,
and measure about 4$ by 3$ = 120 by 88 mm. ; all have, underneath, references to
" Book " or " Vol." and " Chap.," with a short description ; all, except four, bear
the signature of the designer ; and are engraved, and signed by A. WARREN 2,
M. N. BATE 2, DEEVES 2, F. DEEVES i, P. AUDINET i, unsigned 4. Done for

A set of i portrait, and 39 engravings, size 3$ by 2§ inches = 98 by 60 mm. : The
portrait is imitated from that of the edition of Madrid, Joaquin ^Ibarra, 1780 (art. 72).
The engravings are also reductions of some of those of that edition, and of the edition
of same publisher 1782 (art. 83), consequently after the CARNICEROS ; they are un-
signed ; they have, at top, " Tom." and " Pag." indications, and, under the design,
a space, f of an inch = 10 mm., is lined off, as if for a description, but has been left
blank ; this space is included in my measurement. They also exist without the
" Tom." and " Pag." indications. The engraving is fine, but not very effective.

the engraving, in the middle. One engraving is facsimiled in the Iconografia, No. 76.
The wording of the engraved title-pages is :
The Life & Exploits of Don Quixote, de la Mancha. London. Published by J.
Walker fir* the other Proprietors. 1818.
Whereas the printed title-page reads :
The History and Adventures of the renowned Don Quixote : Translated etc., by
T. SMOLLETT, M.D. etc. London. Printed for J. Walker, etc. 1818. 12°, 2 vols.
Reprinted, in same form, by T. Noble, 1846. The same engravings, much worn,
appear in the edition, same size, of which the undated printed title-page bears impress :
London : G. F. Isaac &• Co., 25 Bread Street.
Although the artist, translator, publisher, etc., are identical, andfthe size and style
of the engravings are the same, the set is distinct from that noticed in art. in.
119.
A set of 74 1 engravings, of which forty-eight full page, and twenty-six2 vignettes,
or head and tailpieces in the text, from pictures by ROBERT SMIRKE : The engravings
measure about 4^ by 3! inches =115 by 95 mm., are surrounded by two lines, have,
underneath, descriptions, in English, and " Published Aug* 12 1817 by T. Cadell &
W. Davies Strand London " ; they are all signed R. SMIRKE Esqr R.A. pinx ; and
by the following engravers : F. ENGLEHEART 12, R. GOLDING 9, A. RAIMBACH 6,

C. HEATH i, CHA. WARREN i, C. WARREN i, J. MITAN i, FINDEN i, W. FINDEN i,
C. ARMSTRONG i. Two are reproduced in the Iconografia, Nos. 28 and 63. The
vignettes, which vary somewhat in size and form, are unsigned, but have publishers'
name and date of publication, as above. This description applies to the set as it
is found in the ordinary editions of the book for which it was done, viz. :
Don Quixote de la Mancha. etc. Embellished with Engravings from Pictures painted
by ROBERT SMIRKE, Esq. R.A. In Four Volumes. London: Printed for T. Cadell and
W. Davies, etc. 1818. 8°.
The translation is by MARY SMIRKE. There is, in Vol. I., an " Order of the
Plates," which includes only the forty-eight full page engravings, called in the
preface, "graphic decorations".
This lovely series of illustrations, full of grace, delicacy, and poetic feeling, of
which the one shortcoming would seem to be that they are not sufficiently Spanish
in character, exist in three states. LOWNDES, usually careless with regard to illus-
trations, is explicit in the present instance. He says : " A few sets of the 74
1 COHEN notes, in error, " 70 figures et 14 vignettes," and guesses at the date, " publiee au
commencement de ce siecle ".
2 SIEURIN gives " 14 fleurons," the error which COHEN seems to have copied ; his total, however,
of " 74 gravures " is correct.

illustrations were taken off separately in folio, on India paper, at 15 guineas ; proofs
before all letters, at 25 guineas. Now about half this value. A set of artist's
proofs, with touched proofs, variations, and etchings, valued at 80 guineas, is in the
possession of Godfrey Windus, Esq." The more minute description of these different
states may be left to SIEURIN, a Parisian print-seller, and consequently particular in
such matters. He writes :
Je connais trois £tats de cette superbe collection. i« e'tat. Les gravures in-folio avant la lettre,
soil sur blanc ou sur chine, ont un leger filet encadrant le sujet ; les noms de peintre et de graveur,
Merits d'une finesse extreme, et au milieu : Cadel (should be Cadell) et Davies.
II a ete tire un tres-petit nombre de ces epreuves avant la lettre, livrees,aux souscripteurs dans un
portefeuille et se vendent de 700 a 800 fr. la collection.
I have this set before me on India paper ; it is accompanied with a title-page :
Engravings, illustrative of Don Quixote, from Pictures by ROBERT SMIRKE, Esq. R.A.,
on the verso of which begins a " List of the Plates," concluded on another sheet,
both in folio ; both engravings and vignettes are here given in their order in the
book, i to 74. To return to SIEURIN :
2« etat. Les grandes gravures seules ont la legende legerement trac£e en petites lettres, a simple
trait et en une seule ligne ; parfaitement tirees sur papier de Chine in-folio, et livr^e egalement dans
un portefeuille . . . magnifique collection . . . que Ton considijre comine le chef-d'ceuvre de la gravure

36 etat. Les grands cuivres furent coupes, et la legende au bas des grandes estampes fut mise
en grosses lettres. C'est ainsi qu'on les trouve dans 1'edition de Londres, 1818. Dans quelques
exemplaires, les 14 (?) jolis fleurons ont ete tires sur chine et recoiled a leur place apres Pimpression.
In his mention of this set1 M. BERALDI observes :
II y a un etat rarissime, ou la plupart des planches sont non seulement avant toute lettre,
mais aussi avant le filet d'encadrement et avec les noms d'artistes a la pointe (i.ooo fr. vente Paillet,
et i.ioo fr. Sieurin). Vient ensuite Petal avant la lettre.
Mr. H. E. WATTS, who is unable to find any illustrations for Don Quixote to his
liking, stigmatises these as " strikingly unlike anything in the text ".
120.
A set of i portrait, i engraved and vignetted title-page, 16 engravings, all
unsigned : The portrait, measuring 3$ by 2f inches = 93 by 75 mm., has, under-
neath, the words " Don Quixote de la Mancha". The engravings, measuring about
4 by 2-J inches = 102 by 73 mm., have all a description of the subject, in italics,
underneath, and are very finely engraved. In the volume to which they belong no
indication of either artist or engraver is given, but in the publisher's advertisement
we read that they are by J. PHILLIBROWN, from Designs by ROBERT SMIRKE (art. 119).

Subject : Sancho relating his story to the Duchess. Sancho is seated in the middle
of the room, behind him is a squirrel on a perch ; on the right stands the duena, and
a kneeling girl holds back a dog ; on the left the duchess is seated, and two women
stand behind her. In the long set after Smirke (art. 119) this subject is represented
by a headpiece only, from which the present engraving differs in many respects, and
contains more figures and accessories.

2 In spite of this indication, SIEURIN says " 32 gravures in-8°, gravees par NICOLINI. Venise,

abbiamo voluto supplire, e speriamo che si troveri ottima la scelta che abbiamo fatta dell' esperto
e franco disegnatore e incisore all' acqua forte signer Francesco Novell! veneziano. Le stampe, che
saranno tutte di sua invenzione e incisione, si troveranno esprimenti i soggetti con veritii e con
bell' effetto pittoresco. Ogn' intelligente conosce che meglio dell" opera di un diligente ma servile
bolino riesce assai piu apprezzabile quella libera e franca incisione all' acqua forte, colla quale 1'artista
confida al rame, quasi d'improvviso, 1'opera del suo ingegno e della sua mano.
A year later the same engravings were reissued in a single volume, with a page
of letter-press for each engraving ; the descriptions underneath and the signature
remain, but the " Vol." and " Pag." indications, at top, are effaced, and the plates
are numbered, above, including the frontispiece, I to XXXIII. This volume is
entitled :
Le Luminose Geste di Don Chisdotte disegnate ed incise da FRANCESCO NOVELLI in

The title-page is engraved. There were struck off of this volume " due soli

"p." indications ; they are all signed by both artist, J. RIVELLES inv. y dib. ; and
the engravers, ALEJA° BLANCO 10, T. LOPEZ ENGUIDANOS 10, lo gr°. Two of these
pretty engravings are reproduced in the Iconografia under Nos. 7 and 89. The

88 mm., are, like the portrait, almost in outline ; they are unsigned, and have,
underneath, a quotation from the text, in Dutch, and " bl." indications ; they are
finished off with a line, and are rough and poorly drawn ; six go to each volume.

A set of i frontispiece, and 15 engravings : The frontispiece, surrounded by a

A set of 4 engraved title-pages, each with a finished vignette, and 8 vignetted
engravings almost in outline, measuring about 3 by 2j inches = 77 by 65 mm. and
smaller: The former have, underneath, " Pag." indications. The latter references to
both "Tom." and "Pag.". All are signed by the designer, DEVERIA; and by the
following engravers : SIMONET jeune 6, VALLOT, who sometimes adds " aqua fortis,"
4, RUBIERRE r, TOUZE' i. There exist impressions of the title-vignettes without the
titles, and unsigned ; and of the engravings without the indications to their places
in the work, and signed by both artist and engravers, in italics. This charming
little set, one of which is reproduced as No. 73 of the Iconografia, was done for

Delarue Succ. rue J. J. Rousseau, 10 " ; underneath each plate is an extract from
Don Quixote, of several lines, in both French and Spanish. The designs are not
absolutely original, but are, in several instances, inspired by those of COYPEL (art. 22).

A set of i portrait, and 3 engravings : The portrait, small, is in a frame, upon
which is the name Cervantes, and, below, " Engraved by FREEMAN, London, Pub-
lished by J. Bumpus, 1821 ". The engravings, size 2$ by 2-J inches = 70 by 64mm.,
have a very fine line round them ; they are signed WAINWRIGHT sculp., and further
subscribed, "Don Quixote, London, Published by J. Bumpus, 1821". They serve as
frontispieces to Vols. II., III., and IV. of

4^ by 3^ inches = 125 by 83 mm., is unfinished and unsigned, nor is it found in the
ordinary copies of the edition for which it was destined ; it represents Cervantes
bare-headed, in turned-down collar and cloak, looking slightly on one side ; it is in

an oval frame, the four corners of which are ornamented by branches of laurel. The
engravings, measuring 4$ by 3! inches = 112 by 86 mm., are without lettering; they
are from designs by EUGENE LAMI 8, two of which are signed LAMIE, one without
signature, and HORACE VERNET 4, signed ; engraved and signed by F. LIGNON 7,
CARON 2, PREVOST i, LEROUX i, BURDET i. One of the engravings after Lami is
reproduced as No. 58 in the Iconografia. Concerning this beautiful series SIEURIN
makes the following observation :
La collection des gravures devait avoir, pour Don Quichotte, 14 sujets, 4 d'HoRACE VERNET et 10
d'EuoENE LAMI. Deux dessins de ce dernier n'ont pas ete termines ; un seul existe d 1'etat d'eau-forte,
tres-rare & trouver (I have not seen it), ainsi que 1'eau-forte du portrait de Cetyantes. II a £t£ tiri des
eaux-fortes, des epreuves avant la lettre papier de Chine, et enfin quelques collections seulement sur
papier de Chine double et qui sont tres-rares ; elles contiennent 12 estampes pour Don Quichotte.
Some of the etchings (eaux-fortes), not the finished engravings, are signed and
dated BLANCHARD 1820.
I have before me a set of the proofs, on China paper, just mentioned ; some
are unsigned, others are signed with the point in a character different from the
ordinary impressions ; two are dated 1820, and two 1821 ; three bear, at the extreme
bottom left corner, DROUARD Imp. ; possibly they consist of two states combined.

A vignetted engraving, size about 3$ by yf inches = 94 by 198 mm., unsigned,
but subscribed " Don Quixote. London, Published by S. & I. Fuller, 34 Rathbone
Place, 1823". The scene represented is that in which Quixote makes love to the
peasant women. The drawing is good, and the composition displays force and
humour, although the execution is rough.
140.
A set of i engraved title-vignette, and 24 wood-cuts, from designs by ROBERT
CRUIKSHANK : The title-vignette, used twice, is signed W. O. KNIGHT, sc. The
wood-cuts, vignetted, measure about 3^- by 4! inches = 80 by 120 mm.; none are
signed by the artist, but five bear the signature of the engraver, SEARS ; they are of no
great merit. Done for

66 ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1824.
So reads the printed title-page. There is besides to each vol. an engraved
title-page, undated, but which gives in addition : " Illustrated by 24 Designs by
CRUICKSHANK" (sic). The work was issued in weekly parts, in a coloured paper
wrapper embellished by an allegorical wood-engraving signed SEARS sc. Don
Quixote was the first novel of " The Foreign Fabulist," in which series the pub-
lishers contemplated issuing " the whole of the standard Foreign Novels, Tales &
Romances ". There is a leaf of incorrect " Directions for placing the Cuts ".
Republished in 1828, 1831, and in 1838, by Jones & Co., Acton Place, with the
same wood-blocks, somewhat worn, and with a portrait, size, including frame and
lines in which it is enclosed, 5$ by 3f inches = 144 by 94 mm., signed B. LANE sc.,
and with the name Cervantes underneath.

A set of i portrait, and 9 engravings : The portrait, in an octagon frame, with
spear, sword, etc., and surmounted by a cupid, measures, within the frame, 2§ by
i £ = 60 by 47 mm. ; it has, at top, " Don Quicfwtte, Tome ier," and, at bottom,
the name of Cervantes ; it is signed CHOQUET del., SUZINOT sculp. The engravings
have all quotations, in French, underneath ; eight have, at top, " Tome " indications,
and the title Don Quichotte, one has Don Quichotte only, eight are signed by the
designer CHOQUET ; and by the following engravers : J. B. PFITZER 4, LEJEUNE 2,
POURVOYEUR i, MONCEAU i, and one is entirely unsigned. A series of no great

The portrait is signed DEVERIA delt., LEFEVRE Jne. sc., and has, underneath, the
name Cervantes within a flourish. The engravings, one to each volume, have, at
top, "Don Quichotte Tom. II." to VI., and, underneath, descriptions, in French ; they

are signed by the artist, DEVERIA ; and by the following engravers : A. FAUCHERY,
DEQUEVAUVILLER, SIXDENIERS, P. PEL£E ; that to Vol. II. has no signature of
engraver. In this state the engravings appear in the published book, but I have
them before me in proofs, both on ordinary and India paper. The portrait is signed,
by the point, by both artist and engraver, and has, on the ordinary paper, the name
" Cervantes," underneath, in open letters, and without any flourish ; on the India
paper " Cervantes " is omitted, but the signatures remain. The engravings are
without the descriptions ; that for Vol. II., on ordinary paper, has, above, " Don
Quichotte Tom. II," and is signed DEVERIA del', only, whereas on the India paper
the superscription falls away, while we find, done by the point, the signatures of
DEVERIA del'., L. DELAISTRE Sculp'., and the date 1825 ; that for Vol. III. is without
signatures on the ordinary paper, but, on the India paper, it has the signatures of
artist and engraver, as well as the date 1825, all done by the point ; that for Vol. IV.
has the signatures, by the point, of both artist and engraver on both papers ; those
for Vols. V. and VI. have, on both papers, the signatures, by the point, of both artist
and engravers, as well as the date 1825. SIEURIN remarks : " Les epreuves avant la

The same set will be found in the QZuvres posthumes de Florian, etc. Don
Quichotte de la Manche. Paris, chez M'enard, etc. 1837. Don Quixote occupies three
volumes ; Vols. II. and III. are dated 1838. Although the. engravings, as now
used, refer to three, instead of six, volumes, the vol. indications remain un-
altered.
The same set, very much worn, was again used in the edition, ornee de Gravures
Dessineespar DEVERIA. Paris, Corbet Aine, 1839. Here the set, including the portrait,
is numbered, at top, I. to VI. ; all are enclosed in a frame formed of three sets of
lines ; all are signed, and the engravings have, underneath, but within the lines,
quotations, in French, and- in open letters. The title-page is adorned with a
vignetted woodcut representing the Don attacking a windmill, signed, within the
design, PORRET.
The subjects chosen, style of design, and manner of engraving differ entirely
from the set noticed in art. 135.

Two mezzotints, size 12 by 18 inches = 305 by 455 mm., engraved by WILLIAM
SAY, from pictures by J. PORTER: The subjects are (i) the destruction of Quixote's
library, and (2) the starting on the hunting expedition from the Duke's castle ; in
the former there are four figures, in the latter seventeen figures, four horses, one
ass, two hounds. I have seen these two engravings in the Print Room of the
British Museum in pure etching (eaux fortes), and in proofs before all letters.

Two mezzotints, size 12 by 18 inches = 305 by 455 mm., engraved by CHARLES
TURNER, from pictures byj. PORTER: The subjects are (i) The preparation for the
departure, and (2) the return of Quixote ; the former is an interior, in which are
the Don, his squire, and seven females ; in the latter the knight is being helped
from his horse before the door of his house ; there are in the composition, in all, four
men, two women, two boys, two horses, with trees and distant undulating country.
I possess these two engravings in proofs, before all letters, and have seen no other
copies. They were published probably in the same year, 1826, as the two engravings
by W. Say, from pictures by the same artist (art. 145).

The following passage, which I extract from Anecdotes of William Hogarth,

represented in a room alone, fencing, is worded : Illustrations of Don Quixote : Designed
by HENRY ALKEN Engraved by JOHN ZEITTER. And Dedicated to the Memory of
Cervantes. S. H. HAWKINS Printer London — 1831. Of the engravings, one is upright,
measuring y| by 5f inches = 186 by 136 mm., the others, cross ways, size about yf
by ioj inches = 197 by 267 mm. ; all have, underneath, the names of the artist and
engraver, quotations, in English, and occasionally titles and name of the printer, and
" London, Published June 1831," or " London, Published Septr. 1831, by Charles Tilt,
86 Fleet Street"; some are dated Jany. 1832. I have before me a set on India
paper, indicated " Proof". They were issued, I believe, without letter-press. There
should be a printed outer wrapper, worded and illustrated as the title. The com-
positions are bold, spirited, and effective, and deserve to be better known.

A set of i portrait, 16 engravings, and i map : The portrait is vignetted,
measures 2| by 2| inches = 60 by 55 mm., has the name of Cervantes in full, under-

size 4$ by 3 inches = 123 by 77 mm., four to each of the first four volumes, are not
original ; those in Vol. I. are copied from JOSEPH DEL CASTILLO 3, and ANTONIO

serves for the 2 volumes, is a gothic design, with a bust above, and a figure of
Sancho on one side, and one of Don Quixote on the other ; it is unsigned. The
ten engravings measure 3 by 2 inches = 75 by 50 mm. ; two are without signatures,

An engraving entitled, Sancho at the feast stanied by his physician, under which,
in italics, "Jones & Co. Temple of the Muses, Finsbury Square, London" ; size 5^
by 6 inches = 134 by 153 mm., unsigned by either designer or engraver. The
engraving is hard, rough, blotchy, and indistinct. Design as in art 38. Published in
The Works of William Hogarth ; in a series of engravings : with descriptions, etc. by
the Rev. JOHN TRUSLER. etc. London : Published by Jones and Co. Temple of the Muses,
(late iMckington's,) Finsbury Square. 1833. The plate is thus described :
It has been sometimes thought that Sancho was the artist's favourite character. He is here
represented as governor of Barataria, and seated in the spacious hall of a sumptuous palace, surrounded
with all the pompous parade of high rank, and encircled by numerous attendants. A band of musicians
in an adjoining gallery strike up a symphony to gratify his ear, and a table is spread with every dainty,
to feast his eye and fret his soul ; for however magnificent the appendages of this mock-monarch, the
instant he attempts to taste the solid comforts of government, the loaves and fishes evade his grasp,
are touched by the black rod, and vanish I
In plenty starving, tantalized in state, — he curses the gaudy unsubstantial pageant, vows vengeance
on the doctor, and swears that he will offer up him and every physical impostor in the island, as a
sacrifice to his injured and insulted appetite.
Hogarth has here caught the true spirit of the author, and given to this scene the genuine humour
of Cervantes. The rising choler of our governor is admirably contrasted by the assumed gravity of
Doctor Pedro Rezio. The starch and serious solemnity of a straight-haired student, who officiates
as chaplain, is well opposed by the broad grin of a curl-pated blackamoor. The suppressed laughter
of a man who holds a napkin to his mouth, forms a good antithesis to the open chuckle
of a fat cook. Sancho's two pages bear a strong resemblance to the little punch-maker in the
Election Feast, and though well conceived might have had more variety ; they present a front and
back view of the same figure. To two females on the viceroy's right hand, there may be similar
objection.

Fol. No date. The following is the explanation of the plate in question :
This incomparable Print was published at an early period of HOGARTH'S life. The subject oi
it is exactly consonant to his genius, and was probably selected by the Artist, to shew how happily he
could enter into the spirit of a Writer, whose turn of mind seems so congenial to his own. Sancho,
who was a favourite character with Cervantes, is here represented with a full face ; but HOGARTH,
judiciously thinking a profile would be preferable, fixed a bit of paper over his first thought, and altered
it to the state in which it is here engraved. It was finished with more neatness than any of those
which he afterwards etched for the same work.

J. E. COOMBS. I have a proof of this mezzotint before letters, but signed by both
artist and engraver, by the point. Published in Engravings from the Works of HENRY
LIVERSEEGE etc. Without date ; publishers as above. The following extract is from
the Memoir by CHARLES SWAIN, prefacing the volume :
" Don Quixote," with the exception of " The Recruit," has been thought his most distinguished
performance, and by himself was considered his chef-d'auvrc ; all artists have conjoined to commend
it as almost equal to the old masters for simplicity and grandeur of design : it displays, at the same
time, a fine eye for colour, with a considerable knowledge of chiaroscuro. Quixote is seated near a
table, on which rest an iron helmet, and a large open book that he ponders over with profound gravity;
to the left corner, in the shade, stands a globe, with several folio volumes on the ground ; the light
strikes down from the left vividly upon the chivalrous page, and the yellow table-cover serves to diffuse
it : the true feeling of the painter, and no little judgment, are shewn by the manner in which he has
dashed in the black velvet cap and gold tassel, whereby he .rivets our attention to the deep and
thoughtful countenance of his hero. It was hinted to him that a little blue somewhere would improve

it; "Oh, by no means," he said, " it would then be too fiery". This picture was the favourite of
every visitor, both at his studio and at " The Manchester Exhibition " (in 1831). Every object and
particular colour in this truly clever work is painted from nature : a friend sat for the figure of the
Don ; for, as before observed, he reluctantly worked upon any design without having nature to refer
to ; hence, his productions carry with them that striking air of identity and individuality, which is
rarely attained by other means : . . . The Artist has displayed a just conception of the character of the
Knight. We find no shade of the vulgar prejudice, no burlesque, no exaggeration : in truth the Painter
could not thus err ; he was a master of propriety, and his correct taste never deserted him. In his
picture Knight-Errantry is linked with the Heroic ; he is not only the desperate assaulter of Windmills,
but the high-souled champion in the cause of oppressed innocence and virtue ; a character at whose
exploits we smile, but whose thoughts, councils, and feelings, we reverence.1

An engraving, in aquatint, size 5^ by 8£ inches = 140 by 225 mm., on toned
paper, entitled, in open letters, Don Quichotte; signed, in italics, DECAMPS, and
Z. PREVOST, and further subscribed, in right-hand corner, " Imprime par AZE " ;
superscribed L' Artiste, in which publication, i™ serie, tome IX, 4" livraison, February
1835, it was published. The same plate was issued again in the same journal,
No. for Oct. 15, 1862, on white paper, with the signatures in type, and " SARAZIN,
Imp. Paris," underneath, in the middle ; the title is in closed and larger letters.
In this most characteristic composition Quixote and Sancho, mounted and abreast,
advance along a rough road ; a town is discernible in the mountainous background.
I have the same plate coloured a 1'aquarelle. The following extract is from a notice,
signed JULES JANIN, at p. 50 of the volume for 1835 :
Deji vous avez vu le Don Quichotte de cet homme de taut de couleur et d'esprit qui a nom
Decamps. Decamps s'est fait 1'ami de Don Quichotte ; Decamps est monte en croupe, non pas sur
Rossinante, qui aurait ete ecrasee, mais sur 1'ane plus robuste de cet excellent et intarissable Sancho
Panca. La Decamps s'est trouve aussi a 1'aise que dans sa propre maison. II a voyage de concert
avec ses deux amis Don Quichotte et Sancho ; . . . Ainsi, Decamps a partage toutes les illusions de
son heros, ainsi il a fait son portrait deux fois, ou plutot ainsi il a fait deux fois le portrait de
Sancho. Vous avez deja vu le Sancho de Decamps (arts, 177, 178): Jovial rejoui, ne doutant de rien,
veritablement a cheval sur son ane, pendant que son maitre est <k dne sur son cheval ; jamais on
n'avait mieux vu Sancho Panga que ne 1'a vu Decamps ; jamais on n'avait mieux compris Sancho que
ne 1'a compris Decamps. Mais ce n'est pas assez pour Decamps d'avoir fait le portrait de 1'ecuyer ;
il sait trfes-bien que 1'ecuyer et le chevalier ne vont pas 1'un sans 1'autre, qu'ils sont inseparables,
. . . Voila pourquoi Decamps, en grand artiste qu'il est, ne pouvait pas, et ne devait pas separer ses
deux heros. Ainsi a-t-il fait dans la gravure de notre derniere livraison. II les a fait aller de pair, au
meme pas, paisible et lent, comme ils allaient toujours. On voit que Sancho a ralenti le pas de
son ane par respect pour le coursier de son maitre, tout en marchant, ils causent, on plutot Sancho
parle a son maitre pendant que son maitre s'entietient avec ses pensees. Ils sont heureux tous deux,
chacun a sa maniere ; Sancho reve tout haul qu'il est attendu dans une bonne hotellerie ; Don
Quichotte pense en lui-meme qu'il va rencontrer un chateau fort ; Sancho s'enivre de vin a 1'outre
d'un muletier, Don Quichotte s'enivre de gloire et d'amour. Deux rSveurs tous les deux, sans que ce
bon Sancho se doute qu'il est un reveur.

these six prints were in consequence designed and etched by himself in a bold and masterly style.
His performances, however, gave so little satisfaction to the noble employer, that, after having been
paid for, they were laid aside.
The plates remained in the hands of Mr. Tonson ; and, after his death, were bought by Mr.
Dodsley, under whose direction the chapters, etc. to which they belong, together with references to
the corresponding pages in JERVIS'S (sic) translation, were engraved. The plates were afterwards
purchased by Messrs. Boydell, and from them by Mr. Sayer. As the admirable romance which they
illustrate is in every one's hands, the titles of the several plates will be sufficient for their explanation :
1. Funeral of Chrysostom, Marcella vindicating herself.
2. The inn-keeper's wife and daughter taking care of the Don after he had been beaten and bruised.
3. Don Quixote releases the galley-slaves.
4. The Knight of the Rock meeting Don Quixote.
5. Don Quixote seizes the barber's bason for Mambrino's helmet.
o. The curate and barber disguising themselves, to convey Don Quixote home.

portrait, in an oval frame, size 3^ by 2\ inches = 90 by 58 mm., is signed BLANCHARD
sc. The title-vignette represents a windmill, the sails of which are covered with
armour. The frontispiece, vignetted, measures 5^- by 3$ inches = 130 by 99 mm., is
unsigned, and represents the Don mounted, followed by Sancho ; above are the
figures of folly and Cupid ; to right, Dulcinea ; to left, in background, a windmill.
The engravings, size 45 by 2| inches = 113 by 71 mm., are copied from those of

A lithograph, entitled Les Noces de Gamache, size 6 by 8£ inches = 153 by
216 mm. ; signed L. BOULANGER, Lith. de FREY ; superscribed L' Artiste; subscribed
"(Salon de 1835)"; within the design, left, are the initials L. B. A pleasing
composition, with a great number of figures. Published in L 'Artiste, i* serie,

A set of 2 engraved title-pages, 2 frontispieces, 129 initial letters, of which
fifty-four in the first, and seventy-five in the second, volume, 9 headpieces, of which
seven in the first, and two in the second, volume, 131 tailpieces, of which fifty-five in
the first, and seventy-six in the second, volume, 7 full-page illustrations engraved
on wood, of which three in the first, and four in the second, volume, 487 wood-cuts
in the text, of which two hundred and fifty-three in the first, and two hundred and
thirty-four in the second, volume, i autograph of Sancho Panza — in all 766 2 illus-
trations ex title-pages, from designs by TONY JOHANNOT : The title-pages are of two
different arabesque designs. Of the frontispieces, that to Vol. I., representing the
Don in his study, measures 7 by 4^ inches = 180 by 115 mm., and is signed TONY
JOHANNOT inv., PORRET scul. ; that to Vol. II., representing the Duke and Duchess
reading Don Quixote, is rather larger, and is signed BREVIERE s. only ; both are
vignetted. These are also found struck off separately on India paper. The illustra-
tions vary very much in size ; a few only bear the signature of TONY JOHANNOT,
while several, notably those at Vol. I., pp. 237, 469, 551, and Vol. II., pp. 72, 77,
474, 477, 490, 493, 629, have two signatures, neither of which is that of Tony
Johannot, leading to the supposition that they were not drawn by him ; they are
generally signed by the engravers, among whom the following may be noted :
ANDREW BEST LELOIR," frequently shortened to ANDREW B. L., or to A. B. L.,
MAURISSET, THOMPSON, CHERRIER, PORRET, MILLET, HALE, BREVIERE, A. CAVENNE,
1 M. BERALDI gives the date erroneously as 1825.
2 I have been specially careful in the enumeration of these illustrations, as they are generally
noted incorrectly : the Iconografia gives " 749 laminas y adornos " ; M. BRIVOIS " 800 vignettes
intercalees dans le texte," which number is endorsed by M. BERALDI, and this latter round number
is usually found in booksellers' catalogues.

H. G. Bohn published an edition in which he combined the illustrations of TONY
JOHANNOT with those of Sir JOHN GILBERT (supra, and arts. 198, 213).
The art world is fairly unanimous in its appreciation of T. Johannot's illustra-
tions of Don Quixote. Even Mr. H. E. WATTS allows them to be " very spirited, but
very un-Spanish ". M. BERALDI considers them " quasi classique en France," and
adds : " Le Don Quichotte est 1'illustration que Tony Johannot a le mieux frappee de
sa marque ". See also art. 181.

"Don Quichotte, par SCHROEDTER. Grave par THOMPSON, a Londres. Tome I,
page 199 " ; in the design, right, is the signature JOHN THOMPSON, sc. The
engraving is good. The subject is identical with that noticed in art. 179*, and one
in the set noted in art. 249. Given in Histoire de I' Art Moderne en Allemagne par
Le Comte ATHANASE RACZYNSKI, etc., 1836, where, at Vol. I., p. 199, we read :
Son (Schroedter's) Don Qnicliotte ne manque d'aucune des qualites qui font le mfirite des ouvrages
de Genre les plus remarquables, de quelque epoque et de quelque pays que ce soil. Don Quichotte est
enfonce dans la lecture d'Amadis des Games ; le plus grand dgsordre regne autour de lui. II est maigre,
il est blfeme, il est deguenille, il est sale, il est fou, il est comique, et pourtant il est en mfime temps
touchant. C'est, parmi tous les tableaux de Genre de 1'exposition de 1834, celui qui a obtenu le plus
de suffrages. II appartient au libraire Reimer, 9. Berlin.
I have before me the same engraving struck off on India paper, with five lines
underneath, indicating that it was taken from the above mentioned work, and a sixth

A lithograph, size 5^| by y| inches = 151 by 188 mm., surrounded by two fine
lines, entitled Don Quichotte ; signed, inside the design, in the right hand corner,
DECAMPS ; and, outside the lines, to the left, ALOPHE del. ; to the right, Imp.
d'AuBERT et de JANCA. The incident depicted is Quixote's attack of the flock of
sheep. Done probably for L' Artiste, about 1838, when MENUT ALOPHE was working
for that journal.

An engraving, size 14^ by 18 inches = 370 by 458 mm., with " Painted by
C. R. LESLIE, R.A., Engraved by W. HUMPHRYS, entitled Sancho and the Duchess,
and further subscribed : " ' Now, my lady duchess, that I am assured that there is no
skulker listening, and that we are not overheard by any but this good company, I will
without fear or trembling answer all the questions of your grace, and first and
foremost I will own I look upon my master Don Quixote as an incurable madman'.
Book III, Chap. I. To the R'. Honbl<=. George Earl of Egremont, etc., etc. This
Engraving (from the original Picture in his Lordship's possession) is most respectfully
dedicated by his Lordship's Obliged and Obedient Servants Frs. Graves & C°. late
Colnaghi & C°. London Published January Ist 1838, for the Proprietor, by Frs. Graves
& C°. (late Colnaghi & C°.) 23 Cockspur St. Charing Cross." This engraving was
issued in three states : (i) on ordinary paper as above noted ; (2) on India paper,
with lettering as above, and with the word " Proof" added, underneath, left; (3) on
India paper, with the signatures, but without the lettering. The proof before letters
sells for about five guineas.
The duchess, reclining on a couch which is placed on a dais, her duena erect
behind her, a small dog beside her, listens to Sancho, who seated on a low chair,
holds the fore finger of his right hand to his nose. There are four other females, one
of whom a negress. A large vase, a mandola, and an open book of music occupy
the foreground, left. Sancho's slouched hat lies on the floor by his chair.
In the Autobiographical Recollections by Leslie, edited by TOM TAYLOR, we read :
Sancho Panza in the Apartment of the Duchess. Exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1824.
ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1839. 87
" Painted for the Earl of Egremont, repeated for Mr. Vernon (see art. 216), and now in the National
Collection, South Kensington.1 Repeated a second time for Mr. Rogers. A third repetition wa»
painted for one of the painter's sisters, in America, and is now in this country, in the possession of John
Farnworth, Esq." TOM TAYLOR adds : " Of all LESLIE'S pictures, this is probably the most popular,
and in none are his peculiar merits more gracefully and happily displayed. In the expressions of the
actors, the painter has caught the very spirit of the scene. Sancho, half-shrewd, half-obtuse, takes the
Duchess into his confidence, with a finger laid along his nose ; his way of sitting shows that he is on
a style of seat he is unused to. Chantrey sat to Leslie for the expression of the Sancho, and his hearty
sense of humour qualified him to embody the character well. The Duchess's enjoyment breaks through
the habitual restraint of her high breeding, and the grave courtesy of her Spanish manners, in the
sweetest half-smile — a triumph of subtle expression. The sour and literal Dona Rodriguez is evidently
not forgetful how Sancho, on his arrival, had desired her to have a care of Dapple. The mirth oi
tiie whispering waiting-maids culminates in the broad sunshiny grin of the mulatto-woman. Nor has
Leslie ever been happier in the composition of any picture.'
The picture is noticed with disparagement by M. PAUL MANTZ in his article on
Leslie in Gazette des Beaux Arts, Nov. i, 1859, p. 180.
192.
An engraving, which I have not seen, together with the original picture by C. R.
LESLIE, after which it was done, are thus noticed in Autobiographical Recollections by
Leslie :
Don Quixote while doing penance in the Sierra Morena, deceived by the disguised Dorothea and the
Barber. The picture belongs to the Earl of Essex, for whom it was painted, and has been well engraved.
The Knight of the Rueful Countenance, " all naked to his shirt, lean, and yellow," courteously
promises to redress the wrongs of the fair princess Micomecona. Dorothea kneels before the knight in
her gorgeous attire . . . while her train is borne by the masquerading Barber, who kneels before the
mules, with much-ado keeping on the beard that hangs down to his girdle . . . Sancho whispers
the mysterious lady's quality in his master's ear, while the Don's armour hangs like a trophy on the
cork tree to the right. The knight is an admirable conception, dignified, courteous, and gentle in his
craziness ; and quite indifferent to his scanty costume, in his anxiety to relieve the injured princess.
Of this picture there is a sketch by LESLIE at South Kensington, which TOM
TAYLOR considers "quite Venetian in its glow of harmonious colour". It figures
thus in the catalogue :
119. Don Quixote and Dorothea. — A sketch for the picture at Cashiobury. Don Quixote, unarmed
and almost naked, assisting Dorothea to rise from her knees. Panel, 8 x u, oblong. Sheepshanks
Gift.
A paraphrase, in French, of the above remarks by TOM TAYLOR is offered as
original criticism in L' Artiste for April, 1880, and signed by F. FEUILLET DE CONCHES.

on foot holding his hands to his head and expressing wonder and vexation, Sancho
mounted on Dapple, who is kicking out vigorously, a dog hanging on to Rosinante's
tail ; the whole is contained in, and interwoven by, a scroll of brambles and thistles.
Dated, in left corner, 1839, a corkscrew separating the second and third figures,

with arabesques, etc., and is surmounted by a phoenix ; underneath, within the design,
the word Cervantes ; it is signed ANTONIO ROCA sc'. The engravings, which measure
2TJr by Ii inches = 72 by 45 mm., are copied from the designs of ANTONIO RODRIGUEZ
(art. 92), although that artist's name does not appear ; they are all signed, in bottom
corner, left, PABLO, or P. ALABERN g1., and have, underneath, Spanish descriptions,
in italics ; the engraving is thin and poor ; most unsatisfactory when compared with
the originals. Done for

kneels on one Imee before the Don, who is on foot, and leaning on his spear ; Sancho,
in the background, watches his master while minding the two beasts ; the barber
stands behind Micomicona. Date of execution about 1841 to 1843.

Duchess reading Don Quixote, and further subscribed " Painted by C. R. LESLIE, R.A.,
Engraved by CHARLES RoLLS,1 Published by Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown & Green,
Printed by H. TRIGGS ". Generally on India paper. It exists also on India paper,
without title, but with names of artist and engraver. A charming composition, finely
engraved. In the Autobiographical Recollections by LESLIE, TOM TAYLOR remarks :
There is a little picture in the collection of Mr. Joseph Gillott, at Birmingham, of the Duke and
Duchess reading " Don Quixote ". It has a sober power in its colour, and a quiet gracefulness in its
composition, that make it very noticeable in spite of its small size.
This criticism is translated by F. FEUILLET DE CONCHES in his article on Leslie
in L 'Artiste for April, 1884, p. 250.

well arranged, and carefully engraved. I have not been able to ascertain the date of

204.
A set of 23 engravings, varying slightly in size, and measuring about 5^ by
3 inches = 130 by 75 mm. ; they are all signed with the initials of ALEJANDRO
BLANCO, followed sometimes by the letters " 1. g." ; thirteen have, above, " P." and
" C." indications, the other ten are without any indications ; one is dated 1844.
This set, which is by no means devoid of merit, was never published ; the one proof
series of impressions, taken by BLANCO himself, is in the author's possession. The
original coppers, with exception of that bearing the attack of the sheep, are also in
the author's hands. That copper is lost, but was re-engraved in 1893, in an exact
manner, by Mr. C. W. SHERBORN, whose signature, with " London " added, it bears ;
the full count being thus restored. The designs are those of ISIDORO and ANTONIO
CARNICERO, but the engraving of Blanco is far superior to that in the edition of
Madrid, 1782 (art. 83). The two sets differ also in (i) the details of many of the
engravings, and (2) two plates, Nos. II and V, of the earlier edition have not been
engraved by Blanco, whereas he has produced two which are not found in the edition
of 1782, the one is without indication, the other is for "P. n. C. XXXIX". Im-
pressions of these twenty-three engravings accompany the present work.

A set of i engraved title-page, i frontispiece, 48 engravings of various sizes,

illustrations previously published, viz., the title-page, with date 1841 unaltered, the
frontispiece, and the 16 plates designed by Sir JOHN GILBERT already described
(art. 198), with this alteration, however, that the words "To face" are suppressed,
and the letter " p " only left, on the engravings ; the other series is a selection from
the wood-engravings after TONY JOHANNOT (art. 186). The printed title-page reads :

ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1848-1849.
A wood-engraving, reproducing the statuette of Dorothea, by JOHN BELL, in The
Illustrated London News, Vol. XL, July to December, 1848, p. 253. The "beautiful"
figure itself was first exhibited in 1841.
216.
An engraving, size 8 by pif inches = 203 by 251 mm., signed C. R. LESLIE R.A.
Painter, R. STAINES, Engraver, entitled SancJw and the Duchess, and further subscribed,
" From the Picture in the Vernon Gallery. Size of the Picture 4 ft. 1 1 \ inches by 4 ft.
Printed by McQuEEN. London, Published for the Proprietors by George Virtue,
25 Paternoster Row."
The arrangement of the picture is similar to that painted for Lord Egremont
(art. 191), but some of the details differ: the duena has a white apron; the dog is
of a different breed ; the head-dresses of two of the attendants vary ; Sancho sits on
a stool without a back ; part of the drapery forming the background is done away
with and replaced by the portrait of a man hanging on the wall ; for the vase, left, a
chair is substituted ; Sancho's hat is suppressed ; the flowers on the table, right,
are not the same, etc. Published in The Art-Journal, Feby. i. 1849, where, at p. 59,
we read :
This picture is certainly one of the masterpieces of the English school of genre painting. It is a
repetition of a subject painted by Mr. LESLIE for Lord Egremont in 1823, with several alterations in
the details, which the artist introduced in order that it might not be an exact copy. It was exhibited
at the Royal Academy in 1844 ... In the spirit of this picture there is true humour without that
boisterous display which is too frequently its substitute in the works of many painters . . . Mr. LESLIE
is emphatically not one of these, but a worthy scion of that race of humourists which counts among
its number the great Cervantes. On an etching of this engraving being submitted to Mr. LESLIE, he
expressed his perfect approbation of the work in its then state ; and on the completion of the plate,
he writes : " Mr. STAIXES has finished ' Sancho and the Duchess ' entirely to my satisfaction ".
The same engraving, with the words " From the Picture in the Vernon Gallery "
omitted, will be found in Pictures by CHARLES LESLIE, with Descriptions etc., by JAMES
DAFFORNE, London, Virtue 6" Co. (1872).
The original sketch, in oil, made by LESLIE for the Vernon picture, was sold by
Messrs. Christie, April 29, 1893, for £54 izs., and figures as No. 147 in their
Catalogue, Brocklebank, and others, of that date.
217.
A set of i lithographed and illustrated title-page, and 36 lithographs : The
lithographs, which measure about 4^ by i\ inches = 113 by 193 mm., are numbered,
at top, i to 36 ; they have frequently two subjects on the same plate, with descrip-
tions, in French, underneath ; they are sometimes signed, within the design,
E. MORIN, and bear, outside the design, names of publisher and printer. The
title-page, crossvvays, reads :

A pleasant composition, representing the two men, mounted, in a forest. Published
in L'Artiste, Nov. 15, 1850, 5 serie, T. v., 12 livraison, where, at p. 192, we read :

habilement choisi par le peintre pour entasser sur sa toile lumineuse des montagnes de victuailles, des
fruits appetissants, des fleurs splendides, tout ce qui sourit dans les rSves d'un affame', tout ce qui brille
aux yeux d'un coloriste. M. Monginot a une maniere rapide et decorative qui convient &, merveille k
ces, grands panneaux de salle & manger. II sera bientot 1'un des maitres du genre.

A set of i portrait, 12 engravings, i map, 2 engraved half-titles, initial letters,
and tailpieces : The portrait, oval, measuring 7^ by 5! inches = 190 by 150 mm.,
is signed L. MADRAZO lo pinto, P. HORTIGOSA lo grabo, and bears the autograph of
Cervantes underneath ; he is represented sitting at a table, pen in hand. The
engravings, which measure 8| by f>\ inches = 208 by 159 mm., are all signed, by
the designers, L. FERRANT 2, C. L. RIBERA i, B. MONTANES i, R. MADRAZO i, Luis
DE MADRAZO i, M. FLUYXENCH i, C. LORENZALE i, MURILLO i, ESPALTER i, R.
MARTI i, E. PLANAS i ; by the engravers, ESTEVANILLO (twice spelt ESTEBANILLO) 6,
P. HORTIGOSA 2, A. FATJO 2, A. ROCA i, D. MARTINEZ i ; they have all " P." and
" C." indications, but no descriptions, underneath. Two of them will be found
facsimiled under Nos. 31 and 80 of the Iconografia. The map is " Delineado por
D. MANUEL ANT°. RODRIGZ. segun las observaciones historicas de D. JUAN ANT°.
PELLICER Bibliotec0. de S. M ". The two half-titles, which usher in the two parts,
are very finely engraved, and signed, that to Part I., ESTEVANILLO, that to Part II.,
L. ESTEBANILLO d. y g. en Ba. 1859 ; the former contains medallion portraits of Don
Quijote and Sancho Panza, the latter a bust of Cervantes. The initial letters, one
to each chapter, are generally signed ; but as they do not all bear reference to the
work, no special description is needed. The tailpieces are generally slight and
insignificant, most of them being mere typographical ornamentations. Done for

An etching, measuring 8 by 5! inches = 205 by 142 mm., surrounded by a
line ; designed and signed, within the line, GOYA ; etched and signed, outside the
line, by BRACQUEMOND ; entitled and subscribed "Don Quichotte. Gazette des Beaux
arts Imp. A DELATRE Paris." The Don is represented kneeling on one knee before
a table, on which he holds an open book ; various demoniacal figures of spirits in the
background ; a dog in the foreground. The execution is rough, but the general effect
vigorous. Impressions of this etching exist on China paper, without the printer's
name. Published in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts, 15 Aout, 1860, where, at Vol. VII.,
p. 224, we read the following remarks of VALENTIN CARDERERA :
II (GOYA) employait exclusivement de 1'encre, mais il y melangeait parfois la premiere substance
venue, voire mdme du tabac rouge puise dans la tabatiere de ses amis. C'est de cette maniere qu'est
dessinee la Vision de Don Quichotte, que M. BRACQUEMOND a reproduite ici pour la Gazette ; c'est le
moment oil tous les fantomes de la chevalerie viennent visiter le noble hidalgo et Pappeler a de nouvelles
aventures.
In his work on Goya the Conde IJE LA VINAZA gives the following description :
Num 7. — Don Quijote. Alto, o. 210; ancho, o, 140. — Agua fuerte.
Un hombre flaco y de nada vulgar estatura esta hincado sobre su rodilla derecha delante de una
mesa, en la que hay varios libros, uno de los cuales tiene abierto y en actitud de nostrar el texto, con
el dedo indice de la diestra, a quien mira el grabado. La silla en que permanecio sentado vese a su
espalda, y en ella descansa una espada de gavilanes y cazoleta. Un galgo en primer termino. For la
atmosfera, rodeando su cabeza, figuras de caprichosos animales y mujeres fantasticas. — Firmado : Goya.

be found in the top right-hand corner. A roughly executed, but vigorous, composition :
The Don, bareheaded, carries his helmet in his left hand, while, with his right, he
draws open a curtain giving access to the street. Within the design, at right, bottom

ENGRAVINGS FOR DON QUIXOTE, 1863.
Here the full-page engravings have, underneath, quotations, in English. The
same publishers afterwards used a selection of i frontispiece, and 124 wood-engrav-
ings, from the same designs, in an undated volume entitled :
The Story of the Don, re-written for Our Young Folks. By C. L. MATE"AUX, etc.
With Numerous Illustrations. No date.
They again produced a " Cheap edition of the Dore Don Quixote with about
400 illustrations," in 27 parts, at 3d. each part.
Bold, effective, vigorous, and full of imagination, as these compositions of Dore
undoubtedly are, they fail to give entire satisfaction. The artist has travelled
beyond his author, and has fallen into errors which Cervantes would have deprecated.
He becomes fantastic, grotesque, at times almost supernatural, depicting those
extravagances which it was the writer's object to combat and destroy. The tranquil,
thoughtful humour and gentle satire of Cervantes are lost in the artist's desire to
produce striking effect, difficult attitudes, telling situations. The illustrations are
in fact Dore, not Cervantes. In his Nouveaux Lundis SAINTE-BEUVE concludes his
notice of the edition with the following passage :
L'intelligence du style et de la couleur propre a chaque temps et a chaque ceuvre est une conquete
de notre fi,ge ; ce qui n'emptSche pas, dans la multiplicity, quelque confusion. Cela est vrai pour les
peintres comme pour les critiques. Quand Natoire (see art. 448) et Coypel (see art. 418) peignaient
pour le chateau de Compiegne une suite de scenes de Don Qiiichotte, c'etait dans le ton simplement
riant, et leur pinceau spirituel ne pensait qu'au plaisir des yeux et a la grace. M. Gustave Dore n'a
pu ni du echapper a la science moderne plus ambitieuse, et son crayon en a contract^ du caractere.
Mais nous tous, critiques ou peintres, en revenant si tard sur le sincere et gai chef-d'oeuvre, n'oublions
jamais ce qu'il est u la source. Ennoblissons-le, traitons-le dignement, comme il sied et selon le ton
primitif ; mais ne le changeons pas trop, ne le chargeons pas, melons-y le moins possible de pensees
etrangeres et de ce que le trop de reflexion serait tent£ d'y mettre. II est d'un si bon naturel !
In addition to the editions noted above, the illustrations of DORE have been
frequently used. I mention the following :

The Art-Journal, March i, 1868, where, at p. 56, we read :
A veritable portrait of the renowned " squire " of the chivalrous Knight . . . now seated at his
first banquet-feast in his palace. . . . Leslie has given inimitably the expression of half-ama2ement,

half-anger, in the governor's face ; the full, fixed, and inquiring eyes, the knitted brows, the mouth
partially open, even the very folds of the richly laced bib, and the clasped hands, all tell the tale most
humorously, but with a refinement that only a painter of Leslie's elegant taste would throw into a
subject of contrary tendency.
The same engraving, with the words " From a Picture in the Sheepshanks
Gallery " suppressed, will be found in Pictures by Charles Robert Leslie, London, Virtue
dr* Co. TOM TAYLOR ' remarks :
More truthful humour was never put on canvas of the same dimensions by any painter at any
period. The hot, hungry impatience, and indignant questioning expression of the face are irresistible.
It is only a pity that, to enjoy the picture thoroughly, one must know one's Don Quixote well.
As a piece of sound, solid painting, this head ranks high among LESLIE'S minor works. CHANTREY
may have aided LESLIE as a model for the expression. But the head was painted, his son George tells
me, from the family fly-driver. Leslie painted the scene in full for Lady Chantrey in 1855.
The original picture, of which the engraving is described above, is thus noticed
in the Catalogue of the National Gallery at South Kensington :

In 1875 the publisher Molinier projected a cheap illustrated edition of Don Quixote
to be issued in parts, but it was not brought to a satisfactory termination. I have
before me the illustrated wrapper and 80 pages of the publication, containing over
a dozen wood-cuts, in the text signed, for the most part, VIERGE ; and engraved and
signed by COLLINGRIDGE, MARTIN, AD. SOUPEY, QUESNEL, C. BELLENGER, PARIS fils.
The vignetted headpieces do not generally bear the engraver's name. The head
which adorns the outer wrapper is signed by VIERGE and G. PERRICHON. This
wrapper serves as title :

SAINT- MARTIN revue et corrigee Illustrations de DANIEL VIERGE Paris Molinier,
etc. 1878.
There is an undated, illustrated title-page, signed VIERGE, and A. MARTIN sc.

and subscribed "Don Quichotte ilustre par WATTEAU sur un paravent en cuir de
Cordone. Galerie Arsene Houssaye. Imp. Vve A. Cadart. Paris." Although
clearly inspired from Don Quixote, they represent no particular incident in that
romance. Published in L' Artiste, 49"= annee, Nov., 1877, where, at p. 378, they are
thus noticed :
On sait que Watteau a commence par etre decorateur a 1'Opera. Combien de merveilles perdues !
C'est sans doute de ce beau temps de sa jeunesse que date ce paravent, qui etait autrefois au Palais
Pompeien, ou il a peint sur ceux de Cordone les chapitres les plus amusants de 1'histoire de Don
Quichotte. Une vraie comedie \\ la fran<;aise et a la Watteau. Ce n'est plus tout k fait le roman de
Cervantes, mais il n'en est ni moins gai ni moins spirituel. On a pense avec raison qu'il fallait
consigner ici cette oeuvre oubliee du peintre des Fetes galantes.

An engraving, size 75 by 6 inches = 182 by 154 mm., signed Sir E. LANDSEER,
R.A. del*., C. G. LEWIS sculp*., subscribed " Sancho Panza from a Picture in the
Sheepshanks Gallery, London Virtue & C°. Limited ". The incident represented
is Sancho giving bread to his ass in the cave. Part II., Chapt. LV. Published in
The Art Journal, vol. for 1877, where, at p. 304, it is thus described :
Sancho Panza, with his " faithful companion Dapple," is a gem of a picture, about the size of
our engraving, painted by Landseer in 1824, but never exhibited. It came into the possession of the
late Mr. Sheepshanks, and is now in the collection, at South Kensington, bequeathed by that gentleman
to the nation in 1857. • • • Sancho was a humanitarian and certainly feels for his donkey quite as
much as, if not more than, he does for himself. In consideration of the weak state of the animal,
after raising it up, he rests against a ledge of rock and places his leg under the donkey's body, the
more effectually to support it while munching the " luncheon ". The face of the squire is a strange
compound of humour and sadness ; it is difficult to determine which quality is dominant ; but the
composition of the group is not likely to produce gravity in the spectator, notwithstanding the temporary
misery of Sancho and Dapple, who are, however, soon relieved from their place of bondage.
The same engraving will be found in Pictures by Sir EDWIN LANDSEER, W.
COSMO MONKHOUSE, London (1877) ; in The Landseer Gallery, London, no date (1887) ;
and in The Works of Sir EDWIN LANDSEER, by W. COSMO MONKHOUSE, London, no
date, (1879), in these publications the words " from a Picture in the Sheepshanks
Gallery " are omitted. In the latter work Mr. MONKHOUSE writes :
We can hardly expect to see Landseer at his best in illustrating the ideas of others. His own
conceptions were so pre-eminently his own, that in following other men's paths of thought he could
not but have felt a stranger on a new track — the path, indeed, lighted up by his own brilliancy, but the
eyes rendered, by reason of that very brightness, less fit to unravel the tangled windings. Here the
donkey is all that can be desired, but we think that Sancho Panza appears to greater advantage in
Leslie's picture, which represents him seated at table in the capacity of Governor of Barataria
(art. 258).
The original is now at South Kensington. It is thus described in the
Catalogue :
96. Sancho Panza and Dapple. — Sancho leans upon Dapple, who is about to eat a crust that his
master has spared him from his wallet. Panel, 7^ x 6J, upright. Signed E. L., 1824. Sheepshanks

In a small square oblong medallion the Don is represented dancing with two
ladies ; Sancho is also dancing in the foreground, and there are numerous figures
in the background. A rich floral border surrounds and almost oppresses the main
subject. The border contains also a peacock, two cupids, two dogs, five sheep, three
medallions, and the following inscription : Dom Quichotte estant a Barcelonne danst

A wood-engraving, in the text, size 4f by 6f inches = 120 by 165 mm, subscribed
" Fig. 78 Don Quixote and the Lions," reproduced from a drawing by Sir EDWIN
LANDSEER. It is unfinished, and some amount of imagination is required to discover
that it at all belongs to Don Quixote. Concerning it Mr. COSMO MONKHOUSE writes,
at pp. 115-16 of Works of Sir Edwin Landseer :
In the sheet of these hasty sketches will be seen what was to have been the " car with the flags,"
which contained the " two fierce lions which the general of Oran is sending to Court as a present to
his Majesty ". . . . Below is seen a sketch of the Don, who determined to fight the lions on foot, lest
Rosinante should be terrified at the sight of them. . . . The three mounted figures are evidently
intended for Don Diego de Miranda on his mottled-grey mare, Sancho on his donkey, and the carter
on a mule, endeavouring to get well out of the way before the cage is opened. The ultimate form which
the composition was intended to take is hardly indicated in the scattered sketches, two of which do not
seem to belong to the same subject as the rest.
The same engraving will be found at p. 90 of Studies by Sir Edwin Landseer (1877).

coloured dedication, i portrait of Cervantes, 44 full-page coloured oleographs: The

head and tailpieces, varying much in size, one each to each chapter, one hundred and
four in Vol. I., one hundred and forty-eight in Vol. II., do not appear to be designed
exclusively by R. BALACA, in spite of the indication on the title-page given below, as
on a few, in Vol. II., we read the name of PELLICER as designer ; they are generally,
but not always, signed by the engraver, the signature most frequently met with is
SMEETON-TILLY, or E. A. TILLY, or E. & A. TILLY ; a few are signed SADURNI,
F. GOMEZ, BRANGULI, MARTIN, and one ARTIGAS. I have some of these engravings
struck off separately. The dedication bears the words "A la Memoria de Miguel
de Cervantes Saavedra Los Editores," and is surrounded by an allegorical border,
printed in gold and colours. The portrait of Cervantes, signed B. MAURA, D>b. y
Gbo. 1879, is printed in black and white, and laid down in an allegorical frame or
border printed in gold and white, bearing, at top, the word " Lepanto," and, at
bottom, a facsimile of Cervantes' signature. The oleographs measure n by 8
inches = 280 by 205 mm., a few run cross-wise, all have descriptions, in Spanish,
underneath, and nearly all " Parte " and " Cap " indications, above ; there are

A set of 6 coloured lithographs, size about 8£ by 6 inches = 216 by 155 mm., all

and bearing the names of the publisher, and of the lithographer A. GATTERNICHT.
These bold and effective illustrations were done for

are in the possession of M. Groult of Paris. See art. 426. At p. 215 of his noble
work, Baron ROGER PORTALIS remarks :
Les Aventures de Don Quichotte etaient bien faites encore pour inspirer son (FRAGONARD'S
imagination romanesque et son crayon inventif. Pourquoi s'arreta-t-il en chemin ? On connait une
vingtaine de compositions pour le chef-d'oeuvre de Cervantes, ce qui a permis a Gustave Dore d'etre
tout A fait neuf (art. 247), sans quoi il aurait eu fort a faire d'egaler Fragonard. Parmi celles que nous
avons vues, plusieurs ont un entrain remarquable, surtout quand apparaissent des figures de femmes et
1'excellent Sancho, car de 1'armure du chevalier, il est bien difficile de tirer parti.
The subject of the second etching noted above, viz. Don Quichotte arme chevalier
is analogous with one of the eight noticed in art. 98.

An illustrated title-page, and 3 lithographs : On the title-page, which is illustrated
with the windmill adventure, we read, above, "La Ilustracion Artistica Ano XIV
Num. 680," within the design " a Cervantes," and, below, " Barcelona. Enero.
1895." The three lithographs, on pp. 39, 40 and 41 of the publication, vary in size,
the largest measuring iz| by 8| inches = 340 by 260 mm.; they are " dibujos
ineditos de JOSE JIMENEZ ARANDA," as printed below each engraving ; they also bear,
below, the following quotations: (i) "no ha mucho tiempo que vivia un hidalgo de
los de lanza ..." (Cap. i.) ; (2) "que se le pasaban las noches leyendo de claro en
claro . . ." ; (3) " diera el, por dar, una mano de coces . . .". The compositions are
scarcely quixotesque, and without the indications which accompany them, might be
taken for illustrations of any other book. Nevertheless, at p. 24 of the No. in
question we read the following commendation from the pen of Senor J. L. PELLICER :
De . . . Jimenez Aranda se reproducer! en este numero cuatro (there are three only) dibujos
ineditos que gustoso ha facilitado para contribuir con sus firmes cualidades de dibujante a avalorar
la presente publication. . . . Hace ya anos que nuestro querfdo amigo y antiguo companero se ocupa
en la labor, para el predilecta, de representar graficamente el poema de Cervantes, no en el sentido
de ilustrarlo, como vulgarmente se dice, no tratando de decorar un libro, sino con el proposito de
explicarlo a su manera y realizar por el dibujo, con enlace natural, una sintesis clara y razonada de
la obra.
I may add that in two of the designs we find the signature C. Angerer & Gosck,
as lithographers. The outer wrapper, printed in colours and illustrated, has a portrait
of Cervantes, and N°. 679.

A series of 7 figures, and i vehicle, on two sheets : Each sheet measures 6 by
14 inches = 150 by 355 mm. ; and the figures upon them are about 3 to 3^ inches =
75 to 90 mm. high, the vehicle naturally higher. One sheet is headed Die 3 l Partt
Don Quixote de la Mancha Caiiallero de la triste figura, and each figure has a name,
above; they march in the following order: (i) "El Enano," mounted, blowing a
horn ; (2) " El Cura," on foot, carrying a windmill ; (3) " El Barbiera," walking,
bearing a tub; (4) "La Sin vor Dulcinea del Tobosa," on foot; (5) "El ingenioso
Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha, Cavallero de la triste figura," on horseback,
richly attired, with flowing plumes on his helmet, and bearing a long lance and a
shield ; (6) " Sancho Panca Scudiero. Don Quixote," on his ass, well dressed, also
carrying lance and shield ; (7) " La Linda Maritornes," on foot, with large ruff round
her neck ; the vehicle is a kind of two-wheeled cart hearing a fortress, out of the
tower of which appears a jester blowing a horn ; the cart is drawn by two oxen.
Under the figure of Don Quixote appears the following signature : ANDREAS BRET-
SCHNEIDER. These most interesting figures, of which both drawing and engraving
are good, and costume correct, represent one of the processions of the baptismal
festival given at Dessau on the 27th and 28th October 1613, and were done to
illustrate the description of those festivities contained in a volume entitled :

The letter-press referring to the Quixot procession covers pp. 25 to 40, and is in
two parts, with the following titles : " Antwort Don Quixote de la Mancha Cavallero,
de la triste figura, Auff der Herren Mantenatorn Cartel," and " Don Quixote de la
Mancha Cavallero de la triste figura a todos los Cavalleros de esta Corte ". The
former is in prose, partly German partly Spanish, the latter in verse and in German,
in spite of its Spanish title.
1 It would seem that three sheets are needed to form the entire procession ; I have seen two only.

six male figures, viz Quixote, Panza and the Barber, to whom three men, of whom
one kneeling, offer letters. (3) A group of allegorical figures, male and female,
having no reference to Don Quixote. Above, within the design, we read " Colligit

Sancho is being tossed in a blanket by four men ; a fifth, apparently a cook, or
scullion, stands by enjoying the sport ; to the left are a loaf, a plate on which is a
duck or fowl, a flask and a wineglass ; in the background a table spread for a repast,
with chairs around ; festoons are suspended from the trees. The composition,
especially the treatment of the trees, is happy, and the engraving very good.

A set of i engraving, and i engraved and illustrated title-page : The former
measures, from line to line by which it is surrounded, 3^ by 2^ inches = 95 by
54 mm., has a quotation, in English, and is signed T. UWINS del., STOWE sculp. ;
underneath we read " Pub. by J. Walker, Paternoster Row, and J. Harris, Sl. Pauls
Church Yard ". The vignette on title-page, size about 2f by z\ inches = 62 by
58 mm., is signed T. UWINS del., STOWE sculp. The printed title-page reads :
The Spiritual Quixote, etc. London : Printed for J. Walker ; (and twenty other
firms). 1808.
Reissued in 1816 by Walker and Edwards, with same engravings. Serial with,
and as if intended to accompany, the Don Quixote of the same publisher (art. in).
This novel, from the pen of the Rev. RICHARD GRAVES, has little more to do with the
romance of Cervantes than the word which has been borrowed for the title.
342.
A coloured engraving, surrounded by a line, size \i\ by 15^ inches = 293 by
385 mm., entitled, above, within the lines, Le moderne Don Quichotte ; below, also
within the lines, we read: " appel a 1'Impartialite," and "depose a la direction
Generale de la Librairie ". There are five male figures, the chief of which is the Don,
on whose shield is inscribed : " Fin du Proces," and whose spear terminates with a Y,
over which is the number i, Quixote himself is numbered 2, leading to the following
inscriptions, below, outside the lines : " (i) Voyez dans le journal de 1'Empire du 2
Fevr. 1'article signe Y," and "(2) Accepte de mon corps 1'epaisseur favorable (Boileau
Poeme du Lutrin)". Of the other figures: one, in clerical costume, holds a brick and
a bundle of papers on which is inscribed " Conaxa " ; the second has a bundle of
papers marked " Mes Revelations " and an empty purse. Above are three hands
holding papers inscribed respectively : " Petite Lettre sur un Grand Sujet " ;
" Stephaneide " ; and " Lettre de Piron ". Below are two heads of seraphs both
shouting " au Voleur". A peacock, flying, above, and two toads, on the ground,
complete the composition. Although the drawing and engraving of this caricature
are both good there is no signature. It has reference to the dispute between C. G.
ETIENNE and LEBRUN-TOSSA concerning the plagiarisms in Les Deux Gendres, which
comedy Etienne was accused of having stolen from Conaxa. Date 1812.

further subscribed " Painted by A. COOPER, R.A., Engraved by J. C. EDWARDS, Pub.

in The Gem, London, 1829, to illustrate a poem by Mrs. BALMANNO, called May Talbot,
given at p. 55 of that publication. This plate should in reality not be included in my
compilation as it has nothing to do with Don Quixote ; but it is not infrequently
supposed to represent the Duke and Duchess going hawking, and offered as such,
especially when the title is wanting, as in the impressions before letters ; consequently
I mention it ; one of these impressions, on India paper, now before me, has the
signatures of painter and engraver done with the point, but the words " Painted by "
and "Engraved by" are omitted.

An engraving, size 4f by 3 inches = in by 77 mm., copied apparently from that
engraved by Folkema, or Gentot (arts. 360, 362), unsigned, subscribed " Michael de
Cervantes Saavedra Author of Don Quixote London Published by J. Souter
Dec', i, 1824."
364-
An engraving, surrounded by three lines, size, from line to line, 4^ by 3T\ inches
= 105 by 81 mm., subscribed, outside the lines, " Grave d'apres 1'original de G. KENT
par CAZENAVE. Michel de Cervantes Celebre Auteur Espagnol Ne en 1547 mort en
1616." It has nothing whatever to do with the portrait by Kent (art. 39), but is
copied, almost exactly, from that by DEVERIA (art. 143), the plain background of the
latter being here replaced by a curtain and a tassel.
365-
An engraving, octagon shape, size 3! by 2y£ inches = 92 by 70 mm., signed,
J. DEL CASTILLO pinx., MANSFELD sc., subscribed, with name in full, Miguel de
Cervantes Saavedra, and "Zwickau b. d. G. Schuman 1818". It is a poor, reduced
copy, badly engraved, of that noticed in art. 72, without the ornamental frame. The
same portrait is also to be found, in a frame, measuring 5f by 3! inches = 147 by
91 mm., with the signatures, done by the point, outside the frame.
366.
An engraving, in outline, in a frame composed of four double lines, measurement,
from outer line to line, 3§ by 2T5F inches = 92 by 58 mm., with name Cervantes under
the likeness, signed, outside the frame, JOSEPH DEL CASTILLO del'., LANDON direx'. ;
above " Hist. d'Espagne ".
367-
An engraving, in outline, the likeness in an oval frame, placed on a frame, and
enclosed in a third frame, surrounded by two lines, outer measurement 5-^ by 3!
inches = 128 by 89 mm. ; the name M. de Cervantes outside the oval, but inside the
inner, square, frame ; unsigned. On the verso we read " Miguel de Cervantes
Saavedra, poete. D'apres le Tableau peint par J. DE CASTILLO " (art. 72).
368.
An engraving, size 6^ by 3! inches = 153 by 86 mm., signed H. LIPS sculp.
The head with turned up moustache, pointed beard, arched nose, and in a ruff, appears
in an oval frame standing on a base, upon which is engraved the name Cervantes.
On some impressions one finds, underneath, " Zullichau bey Darnmann ". Although
this is ascribed by SIEURIN to Chodowiecki, it differs materially from the portrait
noticed in art. 74.

An engraving, size 5$ by 3 inches = 130 by 76 mm., signed F. M. QU£VERDO
del., C. S. GAUCHER eff. incid. The same engraving exists in another state, viz.,
with the name M1. de Cervantes in the ribbon above the head, and the signatures
QUEVERDO inv., GAUCHER Sculp., without initials or accent, and more firmly en-
graved. Concerning this portrait, which is evidently copied from that by CASTILLO
(art. 72), although turned, there are one or two points of doubt, (i) MM. PORTALIS
and B£RALDI class it among the works of CHARLES ETIENNE GAUCHER, although the
second! initial; of the signature is clearly an S ; " sous le portrait," they write, " un
medallion ovale representant Galatee," defining without doubt the portrait in question.
(2) COHEN notes it as belonging to the edition of Don Quichotte, an VII (art. 96),
which M. CROTTET points out to be incorrect. (3) I have the portrait in a copy ot
Don Quichotte An VI, as already indicated in art. 94, to which edition it appears
rightly to belong. I may add that M. CROTTET'S opinion is shared by a writer in Le
XVIII' Siecle Galant et Litteraire, III, 376, who appears to speak with authority.

An engraving, size nf by 7! inches = 295 by 187 mm., signed D. I. FERRO lo

moustache and pointed beard, in a ruff, his left arm resting on an open volume. On
a tablet, underneath the portrait, which is in a frame, we read : " Miguel de Cervantes
Saavedra. Natural de Alcala de Henares, ingenio original, admirable en el habla
Castellana, y Autor de la immortal Fabula del Quixote. Murio en Madrid a los 68.

Spanish Print, engraved by D. F. SELMA. Under the Superintendence of the Society

William Mackenzie. Glasgow. Edinburgh. London & New York." It is copied from
that noticed in art. 370, and resembles at first sight that in art. 371, but the face is
lighter and clearer, and the background is architectural, whereas that in art. 371 is like
the original quite plain. SIEURIN notes a portrait " in-8°, grave a Londres par

the previous art., or to those mentioned in arts. 90 and 105, I will not presume to
decide.
373-
An engraving, size 3^ by iyf inches = 84 by 50 mm., the portrait, copied from
that by CASTILLO (art. 72) and turned; it is in an oval frame decorated with fruit,
masks etc., and has, underneath, a scene with a shepherdess, Quixote, and Sancho
mounted ; between the portrait and the scene is the name, M. de Cervantes ; it is
signed FLOUEST del., BOILY sculp., and has, below, the motto, " II corrigea son Siecle
et mourut de misere ".
374-
An engraving, size 3^- by 2^ inches = 84 by 55 rnm., unsigned ; the design and
disposition are similar to that by FLOUEST (art. 373), but it is badly engraved ; the
name in the middle is Cervantes only, with same motto underneath.

An engraving, size 3^ by i}£ inches = 84 by 50 mm., design as in art. 374 ;
there is in the middle the name. M. de Cervantes, and the same motto underneath ;

An engraving, size 7^ by 6£ inches = 184 by 160 mm., unsigned, subscribed,
"Michel de Cervantes Ne a Alcala de Minares en Castille le 9 Octobre 1547".
Cervantes is represented three-quarter face, with turned up moustache and small
beard, a flat scolloped collar and chain round his neck, he is looking out of the window
of a solid stone building, which might be taken for a prison, but that there are no bars
to the window. The engraving is firm and good.

further subscribed, " D'aprfes le tableau original du Cabinet de. M. Briere a Geneve.

The same exists surrounded by three fine lines, signature as above, subscribed
"Cervantes Ne en 1547 — Mort en 1616". Although not vignetted, it probably
belongs to the sixteen engravings, noticed in art. 165, thus making up the "17
gravures" specified by SIEURIN, which no doubt appeared in an edition of Don
Quixote unknown to me.

las Pruebas de la Autenticidad de su Verdadero Retrato, par D. JOSE MARIA ASENSIO jc

I venture to transcribe the interesting remarks of HARTZENBUSCH concerning the
various attempts which have been made to portray the physiognomy of the illustrious
author of Don Quixote, and some of the observations offered by ASENSIO in proof of
the authenticity of the portrait now offered. HARTZENBUSCH writes :
Al entrar el siglo pasado no se conocia de Cervantes efigie ninguna. Los editores de la
magnifica impresion del Quijote, hecha en Londres en 1738 (art. 39), encargaron que se les buscase
en Espana la fisionomia de nuestro autor, y se dijo que no habiendo dado fruto las diligencias, el
habil dibujante KENT ideo un retrato de Miguel Cervantes con arreglo a lo que habia expresado
acerca de si el mismo Cervantes en el prologo de sus novelas. El ano 1773, epoca en que disponia
la Real Academia Espanola la excelente edicion en cuatro volumenes que salio a luz en 1780 (art. 72),
se supo que el Sr. Conde del AGUILA, residente en Sevilla, poseia un retrato de Cervantes pintado al
oleo : solicito del Conde nuestra Academia permiso para sacar una copia, y el Conde se lo regalo
generosamente. Vista la pintura en Madrid, se noto con sorpresa que se parecia tanto & la estampa
de la edicion de Londres, invencion de KENT, segun dijo el Doctor OLFIELD (sic), que era fuerza pensar
6 que habia sido hecho por la Umina el cuadro, 6 aquella por cste. Pregunto sobre tan rara
particularidad al Conde el Secretario de la Academia D. FRANCISCO ANTONIO DE ANGULO, y el Sr.
Conde contesto desde Sevilla a 8 de Diciembre de dicho ano 73 : " Lo compre (el retrato) aiios ha en
esa Corte de un F. Bracho, que negociaba en pinturas. No me informo donde lo habia adquirido.
Vendiomelo por de Alonso del Arco, y no dude lo fuese, conociendo su pincel. Los editores de
Londres se sabe solicitaron con empeno un retrato de Cervantes . . . pudo suceder consiguieran
sacar ahi copia de ese ". Y, en efecto, bien pudo ocurrir que el dueno del retrato en 1738 no quisiera
venderle ni facilitar copia de el para una edicion extranjera, y que alguien de su casa, hijo, esposa 6
criado, permitiese tomar en secreto un apunte del cuadro, con la condicion de no decirlo, y suponiendo
que impresa la obra no llegaria facilmente un ejemplar de ella 4 manos del negative poseedor, quiza
mas aficionado a pinturas que a Hbros. Como quiera que fuese, el retrato que adorna hoy la sala de
Comisiones de la Academia, del cual proceden todos los de Cervantes divulgados hasta poco ha por
el mundo, parece copia, y no muy buena y restaurada, pero no posterior a la estampa de Londres.
Comparandole con la fotografia que ha de acompanar al cuaderno de V., me parece que uno y otro
paeden representar a la misma persona, el uno cuando joven, el otro en edad ya mas que madura : las
facciones se corresponden bastante, a excepcion de la curva de la nariz, que en el retrato poseido por la
Academia es mayor al partir de la frente que en el retrato de Francisco Pacheco. La diferencia puede
provenir 6 de que en el lienzo de la Academia el copiante 6 el restaurador exagero algun tanto la
curvatura, 6 de que Francisco Pacheco, pues al fin representaba a Cervantes, no como tal, sino como
un barquero a las ordenes de San Pedro Nolasco, no reparo en suavizar un poco la curva aguilefia del
original. Si uno de nuestros buenos artistas dilatase al tamano del natural, que es el del retrato de
Cervantes existente en nuestra Academia, la cabeza de ese barquero ; si, omitido el sombrero humilde
que Pacheco le puso, le hiciese mostrar descubierta la frente desembarazada del retrato academico ;
si le cubriera la garganta con una elegante 6 modesta gola, creo que nadie dudaria decir, puesto al
frente de ambas imagenes : " Este es Cervantes & los treinta afios y pocos mas, y este a los cincuenta
lo menos: de joven tuvo mejor-pintor que en edad avanzada".
We will now succinctly consider what Sr. ASENSIO has to say himself concerning
his discovery of "El precioso retrato" which "ha sido calcado sobre el orijinal de
PORTRAITS OF CERVANTES. 147
PACHECO por nuestro escelentisimo artista D. EDUARDO CANO ". Having read in an
anonymous manuscript " folleto intitulado Relation de cosas de Sevilla de 1590 d 1640,"
that " en uno de los seis cuadros que en competencia pintaron FRANCISCO PACHECO y
ALONSO VAZQUEZ para el claustro del convento Casa grande de la Merced, esta
retratado Miguel de Cervantes con otras personas que habian estado en Arjel," etc.,
he examined those pictures, now in the Museo Provincial of Seville. He continues :
Vamos a ecsaminar el cuadro de Francisco Pacheco que lleva el numero 19. Representa, segun
el catalogo, a S. Pedro Nolasco en uno de los pasos de su vida y lo primero es averiguar cual paso
sea este. .
Sin vacilar puede afirmarse, que es el embarque de los Padres Redentores en las playas africanas,
para regresar a Espana despues de haber ejercitado su piadoso instituo.
Parece el Santo en tierra en primer t£rmino con un cautivo que se dispone a tomarlo en hombros
para llevarlo a una barca, que esta a la derecha, en la cual se v£ ya sentado otro Padre mercenario,
y en la que se ocupan dos cautivos en ir colocando los cofres de la redencion, bien conocidos por el
escudo de la Merced pintado en ellos. La barca est& gobernada por un barquero, que de pi£ en la
proa la sujeta con un bichero clavado en el fondo de la playa, y a la izquierda hay un muchacho, que
tiene debajo del brazo el sombrero de S. Pedro Nolasco y en la mano un pequeno bolso como
para libros.
Viendo la disposicion de las figuras, se conoce desde luego que en este cuadro todos son retratos,
y esta es la opinion de muchos que lo han ecsaminado, y en particular mi buen amigo, el distinguido
artista D. Eduardo Cano . . . y por ultimo el barquero que es en persona Miguel de Cervantes
Saavedra.
Las senas que de su talle y rostro nos dejo el ilustre autor del Ingcnioso hidalgo, convienen todas
con las del barquero.
Basta con notar la posicion violenta de la cabeza de esta figura, para conocer que quiso darse
al publico la cara. Aquel es indudablemente retrato : y como en el se ve el cuerpo entre dos estremos,
ni grande ni peqneno ; se observa la color viva, antes blanca que morena ; se notan los ojos vivos y la
nariz corva, antique bien proporcionada ; viene en seguida a la memoria que en aquel cuadro hay
retratos, porque lo dice el manuscrito citado y lo confirma el Libra de Pacheco, estando entre ellos
el de Cervantes, y se fija la atencion con singular placer en esa concordancia de facciones y senas.
Una diferencia se nota, y sin embargo sirve para aumentar la conviccion. Tiene el barquero los
bigotes grandcs y la boca pcqucna, pero aquellos y las barbas son de un rubio subido. Cervantes decia
en el Prblogo de las Novclas escrito en 1611 6 1612 que las barbas entonces de plain, es decir, canas,
no hacia veinte anos que habian sido de oro, es decir, rubias 6 rojas, y como el retrato debio ser
hecho por Pacheco entre los anos 1590 y 1597, esta diferencia, lejos de producir dudas, es otra prueba
mayor de que el barquero era Cervantes.
Anadase la circunstancia de que los otros cautivos que en el cuadro figuran, estan desnudos 6
pobremente vestidos, y el barquero tiene coleto de ante y sombrero bianco de fieltro, y se comprende
que el pintor quiso significar asi la profesion militar del ilustre cautivo a quien retrataba.
El cuadro de Francisco Pacheco ha sido ecsaminado y estudiado por los Sres. D. JOAQUIN
DOMINQUEZ BECQUER y D. EDUARDO CANO, artistas, . . .
En pos de la opinion de los artistas, viene como nacida la de los hombres de letras.
La gallardia y gentileza de la figura del barquero, la elegancia de su porte, la viveza de los ojos y
cierta simpatia que toda la cabeza inspira, han seducido por completo a los Sres. D. JOSE MARfA DE
ALAVA, D. IGNACIO MAR{A DE ARQOTE, Marques de CABRISANA, D. CAYETANO ALBERTO DE LA BARRERA
y D. NICOLAS DIAZ DE BENJUMEA. Todos confiesan que esa fisonomia viva, intelijente, y hasta en
cierto grado picaresca, corresponde mejor & la idea que cada cual se forma de el autor en su
imajinacion al leer las obras de Cervantes.
Todo concurre a demostrar que el citado cuadro numero 19 del catalogo del Museo Provincial
de Sevilla, es el de los Padres de la redencion, . . . y por ultimo . . . de que al cabo hemos tenido
la fortuna de encontrar el retrato verdadero, de conocer la animada faz del Principe de los Ingenios
espanoles.
148 PORTRAITS OF CERVANTES.
Antes de dar al publico esta importantisima noticia, he vuelto a examinar el cuadro y el retrato,
no una sino infinitas veces en compaiiia de artistas de conocida reputacion e indisputable merito, para
escuchar su dictamen y dar todavia mayor realce y autoridad & las razones espuestas.
Todos convienen en que no hay en el barquero una sola faccion, que no corresponda esactamente
A. la descripcion que Cervantes hizo de su propia persona : lo cual es prucha harto convincente.
A muchos de ellos solamente les he dicho que en aquel cuadro se creia ver un celebre retrato, sin
espresarles nada mas, y todos han dicho senalando a la figura del barquero ! Cervantes !

A wood-engraving, enclosed by a line, size, from line to line, 5^- by 4f inches =
140 by 120 mm., subscribed, " Verdadero Retrato de Cervantes, tornado de un Cuadro
de FRANCISCO PACHECO " ; on the portrait itself we find the signatures of ZARZA and
PARIS. Published in El Museo Universal, No 16, April 18, 1868. Concerning
this portrait I cite the following words of NICOLAS DIAZ DE BENJUMEA which
accompany it :
Y para no citar tantos otros como pudieran tener aqui cabida, j no es providencial tambien, que
se haya conservado en el Museo de Sevilla, en medio de las vicisitudes que sabemos que han sufrido
antiguas obras de arte, el cuadro de FRANCISCO PACHECO, donde se halla el retrato cuya copia exacta
reproducimos en este numero ? Hasta ahora, los infinites retratos de Cervantes que corrian el mundo,
no eran sino composiciones mas 6 menos fieles a la descripcion que el autor dio de su fisonomia ; pero
en adelante podemos decir que poseemoci la vera efigie del autor del Quijote, segun los apuntamientos,
que, al sacarlo del olvido, ha hecho el senor don Jose Maria ASENSIO Y TOLEDO, y por los cuales parece
estar fuera de toda duda, que Pacheco retrato d Cervantes en un cuadro de los Padres de la Merced.
Examinado el cuadro referido, se hallo, en efecto que el rostro de una figura, al parecer barquero, y en
actitud de impulsar una barca con remo 6 bichero, tiene ciertos rasgos de distincion y de nobleza,
superipres a la condicion y oficio que demuestra y que para el termino que en la perspectiva ocupa,
su rostro esta mas detalladamente acabado que lo que debiera, si fuese figura de capricho : lo cual
manifiesta, que el pintor quiso hacer alii un retrato. Agreganse a estos datos las circunstancias de
que habiendo sido rescatado Cervantes por Padres de la Merced, y siendo amigo de Pacheco, quisiese,
como agradecido, representar aquel humilde puesto entre sus bienhechores. Por otra parte, si bien se
examina, este retrato ofrece la viveza y penetracion de mirada, la energia de caracter, y hasta la
espresion picaresca e inteligente que es de creer tuviese el autor del Quijote. j No es tambien
providencial este hallazgo ?

A wood-engraving, in the text, size 6f by sf inches = 170 by 136 mm., subscribed
" Portrait suppose de Cervantes en bateau, par PACHECO. — Dessin de BRUN, d'apres
une photographic de LAURENT," with the following signatures : A. BRUN del., P.
PACHECO pinx., J. GUILLAUME sc. Given in the Magasin Pittoresque, vol. for 1879,
p. 61. The engraving represents two men in a boat, the one seated, the other
standing and propelling the boat with a pole, or oar. The man seated and attired
in clerical garments is supposed, in the notice which accompanies the engraving, to
be intended for Cervantes. This would appear to be erroneous (see art. 292).

An etching, vignetted, size about 3 by 2 inches = 76 by 50 mm., with autographed
name in full underneath, and a small monogram, left. Cervantes is represented as a
boatman in a slouched felt hat. Copied from the photograph noticed in art. 292.
Published \njourney to Parnassus etc. London Kegan Pau!, Trench and Co. i Paternoster
Square 1883, where nine pages "Of the Portrait and its Pedigree" will be found.
From this description we gather that this portrait is supposed to be that of Cervantes,
sketched by FRANCISCO PACHECO, and that :
D. EDUARDO CANO, a distinguished artist, afterwards took a careful drawing of the head, which
had been photographed, and circulated throughout the land, with much acclaim. Our etching is a
faithful transcript of the drawing ; except, perhaps, that the curve of the nose (the narit corva aunque
bien proporcionada of Cervantes,) is hardly so sharply defined as in the original.

Senor E.1 ATALAYA, a fervent admirer of his illustrious countryman, has produced
many admirable designs for Don Quixote which have been publicly exhibited on more
than one occasion. In 1889 Senor Atalaya was good enough to submit to the author
some of his beautiful drawings together with the following description :
L'hauteur de chaque planche est de 46 cent, et la largeur 31 cent. L'ouvrage complet aura
environ 200 planches composees de la maniere suivante : 20 grandes compositions hors du texte, et le
reste des planches avec le texte au milieu et entoure des petites compositions. L'ouvrage sera fait
moitie blanc et noir et 1'autre moitie en couleur. Le numero des planches completement finies est de
20 qui comprenent du premier au neuvieme chapitre compris. II y a des planches en couleur 4 1'huile.
The compositions of Senor Atalaya which I have had the privilege of examining
were eminently characteristic, perfectly drawn and grouped, and admirably executed.
As far as I know they have not been published.

A water-colour drawing by GEORGE CATTERMOLE, size nf by 13^ inches = 300
by 345 mm. The Don bareheaded, in buff jerkin, sits, with outstretched legs, beside
a massive table covered by a green cloth, on which he rests his right arm. On his
lap he holds a large open volume which he is perusing with a pensive expression.
His sword rests between the chair and table. An open window at the back of the
apartment affords a distant mountainous view. To the right, are books and armour ;
to the left, a picture of St. George and the dragon, a helmet on the table, other books
on the floor, etc. Both composition and execution are successful. This pleasant
drawing is in the author's collection.

Les litres des vingt-huit pieces ont ete releves sur les legendes des tapisseries et sur les inventaires
des modeles.
Dans les ateliers aussi bien que sur les inventaires anciens et modernes, on a donne quelquefois
des noms differents a un meme sujet ; il semble aussi qu'il y ait eu aux Gobelins des modeles qui
n'ont pas ete executes ; de la des erreurs dans le nombre des tapisseries et des confusions dans
les sujets.
La tapisserie no 2 a ete nommee : La Fausse Dulcinee ; le no 3, 'le Chevillard ; le no 8, Sancho
monte sur son bat ; le no 9, le Jugement de la Canue ; le no 14, Don Quichotte au chateau de la
Prudence; le no 19, la Princesse d la chasse ; le no 22, Don Quichotte combat les moulins d vent.
D'autre part, il y a des litres de modeles que nous n'avons pu appliquer a aucune des tapisseries
executees.
II y a aussi des changements dans le texte des legendes d'un meme sujet ; la tapisserie no 5,
par exemple, porte en legende: Lc repas dc Sancho dans I'ih dc Barataria, ou Sancho d table dans
rile dc Barataria se met en colere centre son medecin ; mais ces modifications ne peuvent donner
lieu a equivoques.
En resume, nous avons constate d'une facon irrefutable la fabrication de vingt-huit sujets
differents.
Avec un travail aussi suivi, les modeles s'usaient vite; ils ont ete modifies, retouches et repeints
plusieurs fois, notamment par Tessier, Lenfant, et Valade.

In an article on "L'Histoire de la Tapisserie," in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts,
No. for Nov. 1876, p. 424, ALFRED DARCEL mentions " La celebre tenture de Don
Quichotte d'apres CH. COYPEL. Les aventures de 1'ingenieux hidalgo, figurees dans
un champ de proportions restreintes, etaient posees au milieu d'' alentours,' comme
on se disait alors, d'une grande importance."

In The New Cvriosum Vrbis : A Guide to Ancient and Modern Rome. By
SHAKSPERE WOOD, London: Thos. Cook & Son, etc., 1875, p. 238, we read that
in the Quirinal Palace at Rome the Princess's Bedroom is " most charmingly hung
with tapestries of great beauty, illustrating the story of Don Quixote, formerly in the
Palazzo Reale at Caserta ". Can they be from Coypel's designs ?

SIEURIN writes : " J'ai trois dessins in-i8, de D^VERIA, dont deux a la sepia et le
troisieme a la mine de plomb, retouche d'encre de Chine, a la date de 1821. Je ne
sais si ces dessins se rapportent a quelque edition."

Four drawings, a la gouache, size 7f by n-J- inches = 188 by 281 mm., unsigned ;
in the manner of DEVERIA, but not so well drawn as are the designs of that artist ;
prepared evidently for reproduction, but, as far as I know, unpublished. The scenes
depicted are: (i) Defeat of the Biscainer; (2) Wedding of Camacho ; (3) The Knight
despatching Sancho to govern Barataria ; (4) Don Quixote's defeat at Barcelona.

In his Dessinateurs au dix-huiteme Stick, Baron R. PORTALIS notes " 19 dessins
au crayon et au bistre. — Vente Denon (1826.), by JEAN HONORE" FRAGONARD." Seven
of these, measuring about 16 by n inches = 405 by 280 mm., I have seen in the
collection of M. Groult of Paris. Some of these have been reproduced (see
arts. 98, 312).

dismounted, and, hat in hand, is making a low bow to the inn-keeper's daughter, who
is descending the stairs, preceded by a barking dog. Sancho is in the act of getting
off Dapple. There are four figures on the landing to which the stairs lead. In all
seven figures, a horse, an ass, a dog and two ducks. Signed GAMBA, 1876. This
clever picture, of which the composition is excellent, and the lights and shades most
skilfully managed, is owned by the author.
429.
An oil painting by Sir JOHN GILBERT, size 27 by 35^ inches = 685 by 900 mm.,
representing Quixote seated at a table on which are two books. With outstretched
hands he discourses to the curate and the barber, the former is seated, while the latter,
standing up, supports his head on a large volume which he holds edgeways on the
table. Behind the Don stands the governess with folded hands ; and the niece sits
in the foreground, right, occupied with a piece of embroidery. On the floor are a
basket of wool and another large tome leaning against the leg of the table This fine
composition, in the master's best style, is owned by the author.

the Paris Exposition of 1848. Described and extolled by PAUL DE SAINT-VICTOR in

sombre, M. Guignet lui a donne une valeur artistique bien outrement puissante. Sur la pointe d'un
rocher cerne et mure hermetiquement par un cercle de rochers, dont des vegetations feroces et
hargneuses ebouriffent ca et la les profils difformes, comme des cheveux h&risses sur un front en
colere, un spectre decharne et demi-nu execute des cabrioles et des pirouettes de danse macabre, c'est
le stylite de la chevalerie errante, c'est don Quichotte. La figure effaree de Sancho se decoupe en
vigueur entre deux blocs de granit sur une tranche etroite du ciel d'orage, sinistre soupirail de cette
oubliette gigantesque. Une lumiere fauve escalade a pic les parois des rochers et accroche a leurs
asperites des reflets d'incendie qui colorent la scene des teintes du cauchemar. La magie baroque de
1'effet est ici relevee par une excellente facture, qui allie la curiosite du detail a la large entente
de 1'ensemble.

An oil painting by A. B. HOUGHTON, size 9^- by n£ inches = 242 by 290 mm.,
representing the Don and Sancho under a tree, with Rosinante reposing in the

background. This subject will be found engraved in the edition of London, F. Warne
&• Co., 1866 (art. 254), with the following quotation underneath : " Both of them
laid themselves down to sleep, leaving Rozinante and Dapple, etc. at their own
discretion ". The picture is in the author's possession.

A water-colour drawing, size \z\ by rof inches = 318 by 264 mm., signed TONY
JOHANNOT, and dated 1837. The subject is the same as that of the "Tableau refuse
au Salon de 1835," but it differs from that picture, as represented by the engraving
(art. 181), in one respect, viz. the Don is furnished with moustaches which are
wanting in the engraving and presumably in the original picture. This drawing is in
the author's possession.

A water-colour drawing, size 14^ by 16 inches = 370 by 407 mm., executed in
1878 by Mr. BARNARD H. LEE ; exhibited at the Spanish Exhibition in London in
1889. Subject : The capture of Mambrino's Helmet. The Don, mounted, holding
the barber's basin on his head, occupies the centre foreground ; to his left stands
Sancho with his ass ; to the right is a white foal donkey.

TOM TAYLOR notes that C. R. LESLIE painted a head of Sancho in 1827. I
have not seen this painting, which may be the original of the lithograph noticed in
art. 149, although I believe not.

A painting by C. R. LESLIE, at South Kensington, entitled Dulcinea del Toboso,
and thus described in the Catalogue:
131. The peasant mistress of Don Quixote, clad in a red bodice, is engaged in tying up her
long black hair. The naive expression and sweet smile of the damsel are no disparagement to the
taste of the Don in his choice of a mistress. Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1839. Panel, 12 x 10,
upright. Sheepshanks gift.
In the Autobiographical Recollections by Leslie, TOM TAYLOR remarks :
The Dulcinea might as well be called by any other name. It is neither the Dulcinea indicated
in Cervantes, nor a Spanish peasant-girl at all. Probably the painter never gave it the name of
Dulcinea.

A painting by C. R. LESLIE, thus described by TOM TAYLOR in Autobiographical
Recollections by Leslie :
The picture painted for Mr. Bates in 1849 represents the Duke's chaplain leaving the table in
disgust at his lord's encouragement of Don Quixote's delusions. The canvas is of the largest
dimensions ever ventured on by Leslie. In a rich hall of noble decorated architecture is spread a
stately table, covered with silver plate, fruit, and wine in chased flagons. Don Quixote, in the centre,
in his straight hose and chamois doublet, draped in "the fair mantle of finest scarlet," which the
two beautiful damsels had cast upon his shoulders on entering the castle, drawn up to his full height,
and "trembling from head to foot like a man filled with quicksilver," is delivering that impassioned
and grave rebuke to the Canon. " Is it " etc. By the hidalgo's side stands Sancho, just risen to
vindicate himself and his master. The Duke, in black velvet doublet and purple hose, is enjoying
the wrath of the indignant churchman, hiding his laughter behind his hand. The face of the gentle
Duchess, who looks up at the angry confessor from among her attendant damsels, is irradiated with
one of those latent half-smiles, by the charm of which Leslie has enabled us almost to excuse in her
the thoughtlessness that can find matter for mirth and practical joking in the wreck of Don Quixote's
noble nature. The puzzled but well-disciplined attendants stand round, doing their best to suppress
all expression in their looks. In the foreground the indignant ecclesiastic is sweeping out of the
room with protesting hands outstretched, and an angry flutter of his ample black robes, his fat
vulgarly-imperious face swollen and inflamed with rage. . . .
I am inclined to think this the finest picture, both in point of expression and technical qualities,
painted in the latter half of Leslie's career.
Mr. E. M. Ward, the Royal Academician, stood for the figure of the attendant, near the entrance
in the background, and his brother for the Duke. He had Spanish models for some of the other heads.
A paraphrase of this criticism, signed F. FEUILLET DE CONCHES, will be found
in L' Artiste for April 1884, p. 250. Taylor's name is of course not given.

A pair of bronze figures, erect, representing Don Quixote and Sancho Panza :
The former about 13! inches = 350 mm. high, without the pedestal. The Knight, in
full armour, stands in a defiant attitude, with spear in right hand, while his left hand
rests on his hip, it has been engraved, see art. 194. The latter, not quite so high,
represents the squire in slouched hat, carrying, on his right arm, a cock and a
drinking gourd, while in his left hand he holds his wallet. Both figures were
modelled by ANTONIN MOINE, about 1840, and produced by Susse freres 31 Place de
la Bourse, Paris.

An oil painting by THOMAS STOTHARD, size n-J- by loj inches = 290 by 270 mm.,
representing the scene of the Captive and Zorayda surprised by her Father, part I,
chapt. XLI. There are three figures : the captive dressed in Spanish costume, hat
with feather, doublet, hose and white stockings ; Zorayda in a plain white robe ; and
the turbaned father emerging from behind the trees in the background. The subject
is identical with that by BANKS, engraved in the edition of London, W. Miller, 1801
(art. 102), but Stothard's composition is much more satisfactory than that of Banks.
The author is the fortunate owner of this charming picture executed in the master's

I have put Sterne's Maria and her goat into the sketch of the cavern, and the sentiment of
loneliness and solitude is perfect. Then as a companion to this little picture, I have done another
from the sketch I made on the little wooden bridge at Wynn Stay, where you and your sisters, and
Mr. Fletcher were kind enough to wait on the seat till the work was completed. Into this I have
put ' Dorothea surprised by the Curate and Barber,' who, in their search after Don Quixote in the
Sierra Morefia, corae suddenly on the disguised damosel, while she is washing her feet. A mountain
stream in one country is very much like a mountain stream in another, and I do not doubt my picture
is quite as Spanish as if I had been on the spot.

right eight figures, male and female, await him in front of a house, beside which is a

entirely English. The drawing has neither signature nor date.

work was issued in 10 parts, on the wrapper of each of which is a reproduction (the
same) of the engraving which adorns the title-page of the edition of Paris, 1622
(art. 5).
To this valuable publication I own indebtedness. Its scope however is limited, nor
is it of course altogether free from errors. The editions used are not always the first
in which the engravings reproduced appeared ; nor, it would seem, were the books
at the editor's disposal in every instance perfect. While offering his collection of
facsimiles to the public, the enthusiastic editor expresses the hope that they may
serve as a stimulant to his countrymen " para hacer en el porvenir una edicion
espanola del Don Quijote en cuyos grabados se procure, si es posible, superar a todos
los conocidos hasta el presente". Considering the present state of literature in Spain,
the prospects of that country, and the fact that the art of engraving is on the decline,
if not actually disappearing, that hope, expressed fifteen years ago, is, to say the
least, decidedly Utopian.
La Ilustracion Artistica.— When the present work was well in the press and it
was too late for any alteration to be made in its plan or arrangement, there appeared
at Barcelona, January 1895, trle No. 680 of La Ilustracion Artistica. That interesting
publication contains, inter alia, an article on " Las Ilustraciones del ' Quijote,' " from
the pen of Serior J. L. PELLICER ; and a list of " Ediciones publicadas desde su
aparicion en el ano 1605 hasta 1894". In my art. 410 I have utilised this list by
extracting from it all the illustrated editions not previously noticed. I do not vouch
for the correctness of this list, indeed I have found in it several errors. One specimen
will suffice: Towards the end of the editions "en Ingles" we find the following entry,
" 1888, Nueva York, B. Quaritch, 5 tomos, 4°, 8 madera ". Mr. Quaritch has no
house in New York, knows no bookseller there of his, or any similar, name, and has
never published an illustrated edition of Don Quixote. The entry which follows is
also strange, " 189 . . ., Londres, Milner, Sowerby of Halifox, i tomo, 16° 8 madera".
On the principle of the Iconograjia the Ilustracion gives numerous facsimiles of rare
title-pages, of illustrations, and of portraits of Cervantes, many ot these belong to
editions which I have already described. The collection upon which the articles in
the Ilustracion are based is owned by D. Isidro Bonsoms of Barcelona.

In spite of the esteemed name added to the fifth edition of Cohen's Guide (I will

very truly adds : " II y en a sans doute encore beaucoup qui nous ont echappe etc ".
That a book so superficial, so full of faults, could go through five expensive
editions, and be moreover honoured by a supplement from another pen, must
occasion astonishment. Such an event could only happen in France. A similar
work would, in this country, occasion a loss on the first and sole edition.

" Tunisia is exactly what it should be. ... The two friends distinctly perceived the requirements of the
age. . . . The exhaustive biography is truly valuable, and gives weight to the volume."— Sir RICHARD F.
BURTON, Academy, June 16, 1808.
" A pleasant book of (ravels, composed, in agreeable proportions, of general description of country, people,
and manners, on the one hand, and of architectural observations and research on the other. . . . The account of
Kerouan, the sacred city, until lately quite inaccessible to all but true Moslems, Is very interesting. So U the
account of the remains 6f the Roman city of Sufetula."— American Architect, June 30, itttttJ.
" Modestly written and beautifully illustrated. ... It is, indeed, one ol the best of modern books. . . .
What they tell may be trusted as accurate, while the excellent phototypes, woodcuts, and the heliographic
reproductions of their architectural drawings, render their volunu of lasting value. There is ... a biblio
graphy of works and papers on Tunis . . . practically complete. ... As an archzological treatise their well-
written, well-illustrated, well-indexed, and altogether most satisfactory volume will continue to be valued."—
AthtmEum, January 28, iSHS.
" A book which contains much information, and a good many admirable illustrations, especially of the
Roman remains of the country. . . . The authors have added to their book a -very useful bibliography. . . . We
may congratulate thsm on the production of what is a very pleasant and readable book in itself, though Its chief
value and interest consist in th^ description of the great Roman remains that were visited, and in the admirably
executed and produced illustrations ol these and of some of the Moorish buildings. In a practical sense, alto,
the book will be of use to any who may wish to explore the same line of country, in giving information as to the
means (or no means) of getting about, and the various and apparently not slight difficulties they will have to
contend with."— Mtiitde >\ Dec. 10, 1887.
" The glossary of Arabic terms added to this boo!: will be of use to scholars, and the bibliography U an
excellent compilation. . . . The authors have given an excellent representation of what remains of the noble
Roman amphitheatre at El Djem."— Catholic Press, May 9, 1888.
" Mr. Alexander Graham and Mr. H. S. Ashbee, in their Travels in Tunisia, describe a ruined country In
lively, fascinating style. The work is replete with valuable information, not only on architectural and archaeo-
logical subjects, but on the e\ cry-day matters of life and ordinary commerce. They give also an excellent biblio-
graphy of the country they describe, and their book is a guide of great value to the traveller in search not only
of general knowledge, but of a deeper acquaintance with the remains of Roman civilisation in an important
part of Northern Africa than falls to the lot of the ordinary tourist." — Mr. ALFRED WATBRHOUSE, President's
Address, Journal of Proceedings of the Royal Institute of British Architects, Nov. 8, 1888, p. 14.
" Un forte beau volume i''diti; avec luxe. . . , L'ouvrage est complete par un glossaire des mots et locutions
arabes employes dans la relation, et par un tr^a beau travail bibliographique. . .' . Des figures photographiques
ou des heliogravures, dans lesquelles un emplot discrct de la cculeur donne aux perspectives un fuyant et aux
premiers plans un relief singulicrement approprius aux objets rcpniscntfs ; des restaurations et des mensurations
d'anciens edifices ajoutent ;i la valcur des descriptions du texte toujours impuissantes, quelque fidtlea et colorir«>s
qu'elles soient a donner 1'idee exacte de la configuration et de 1'aspect des choses quand elles ne sont pas inter-
prete'es et eclairees par le dessein. Knfin dc nombreux bois, executes avec une nettctc et une entente archttec-
turale dont on ne saurait trop faire 1'tMoge, achevent de fair de ce livre, qui est une mine de rensei^nemcnts
precieux, un veritable ornement de bibliotheque. II ne connais pas de publication franchise qui ollre sur la
Tunisie une lecture a la fois aussi attrayame et aussi instructive, et i! est bien dommage quc par mi les nombreu-
ses personnes en France pour lesquelles ce pays a un interet de jour en jour plus grand si peu puissant en pro-
filer."—Lt Livre, February, 1888.
" The authors decided at the outset that they would not write 'what is popularly known as an entertaining
volume of travel '. . . . And it must be admitted that they have formed a much more acceptable idea of the
functions of such a book than the majority of * travellers ' so-called, who are for the most part tourists pure and
simple. ... A glossary and map add to the merits of this plain and unvarnished account of some of the chief
objects of interest in a country little known as yet to the Western World. Of the illustrations, whether the
tinted heliogravures or the phototypes, it would be difficult to speak too highly, and they are among the best
specimens of the reproduction by ' process ' of original drawings and of photographs respectively that liave been
ublished. It can be said of few book pictures that they are works of art, but these, especially the prints of Mr.
iraham's beautiful sketches, fully deserve such a description." — Morning Post, January 25, 1888.
" It embodies the outcome of personal explorations, is, as the authors claim, free from padding of every kind,
jpeals by its pictures, no less vivid and striking, f
. unisia will be a haunt of the British tourist. ... It will be strange, however, if this work, equally bright and
scholarly, does not send some adventurous spirits upon journeys of exploration. A feature of special value in the
book is a bibliography of Tunisia, . . . admirably arranged."— Notts and Queries, 7 S. V. 78.
" For a first trip to the Regency there could be no better preparation than a perusal of this interesting work,
. while those who want more information may consult a biography extending over seventy-seven pages, and
ic Addison's Cato." — i'(. 7fl»i«'s Gazette, March
comprehensive enough to catalogue Addison's Cato," — i'f. James'i Gazette, March 24, 1888.
" Messrs. Graham and Ashbee have produced a careful and well-written account of journeys to Tunis, hair-
ies, Carthage, and most other interesting places in the province, without any fine or gossipy writ
record of careful observation and experience, and with half a hundred most admirable illustrations
Mr. Ashbee has added a very careful and elaborate biography, and the whole composes one of
wan. Sfax, Gabe
ing, but with a
of all kinds , „ . ..
those books of travels which remain."— Saturday Review, March 31, 1888. p. 393.
