Title: [Of How Quixote Percieved Millers as Monsters]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Seven monsters and hobgoblins advance, a round mosquito like creature on the left holds a banner in its right hand. Behind this band of monsters many spectres and phantoms dressed in robes walk in rows upon rows in the background. The image is occasioned by Don Quixote seeing several millers run to stop him from riding a boat into the mill, and their faces and clothes being covered with meal, they had somewhat the appearance of ghosts.
