Description
-
This plate depicts three scenes in ch. 8. In the background, Don Quixote charges the windmills, which he mistakes for giants, while Sancho Panza tries to stop him. In the middle ground, the Benedictine friars’ servants beat Sancho on the road to Puerto Lápice. In the foreground, Don Quixote battles the Basque squire while the lady watches the fierce contest from the safety of her carriage. The illustration is not accurate to Cervantes’ text: the Basque is pictured holding a stool, while Cervantes writes that he defends himself from Don Quixote’s blows with a pillow. Unsigned. Part 1, ch. 8.
