Description
-
Don Quixote, having cleaned and restored some of his great-grandfather’s armour (pictured strewn about him on the floor), finds a defect in the helmet. Instead of a full sallet helmet with a neckguard, there is only a simple headpiece. The errant knight compensates for this by fashioning a half-helmet out of pasteboard. To test its strength and whether it can withstand a blow, he takes his sword and strikes it twice. Unfortunately, with his first blow he immediately undoes what had taken him a week to create. Signed by A. Rodríguez (illustrator) and P. Rodríguez (engraver). Part 1, ch. 1.
