Don Quixote's First Interview with Roque Guinart

Description
-
On the road to Barcelona, Sancho Panza (pictured in the background to the left) and Don Quixote pass through a forest of hanged robbers. To their surprise they are suddenly surrounded by forty live robbers who hold them at knife-point, rummage through their belongings for valuable, and in the Catalonian tongue ordered them not to move till their captain arrives. Their captain arrived soon thereafter (pictured to the left upon a horse), his name was Roque Guinart, and seemed to be about thirty four years old, of a robust make, middling size, reserved, and brown in complexion. He was mounted upon a horse, was clad in a coat of mail, and armed with multiple pistols. Upon arriving, Roque was most surprised by the amusingly melancholic figure of Don Quixote clad in full armor (pictured to the right discussing his mission to Roque), and sought to understand the full extent of his madness which he was so famous for. Beneath the image is inscribed the message "On foot and deep in thought, behold our knight surprised by robbers - unprepared for fight, who plunder Dapple, but the things restored pleased much Sancho - and his master more".
