[The Puppet Don Gaiferos Seeks to Rescue his Puppet Wife]

Description
-
In master Peter's puppet play, a figure approaches from the left on horseback, muffled up in a Gascony cloak with an astoundingly feathery helm and spear by his side. This is Don Gaiferos who rides, to save his spouse, who has been locked in tower by Algerians. From her quarter in the tower she shows herself to her husband with a calm and sedate manner, reaching down towards him. In the illustration the tower appears quite short, really no more than five feet, and it must be assumed that she is not really in front of him, but captive at a much higher elevation, otherwise she could just hop down on her own.
