Object history | This print was one of 21 illustrations in Peter Motteux's translation of Don Quixote, published by the Nonesuch Press in two volumes and an edition of 1475 in 1930. A copy of the published work is in the National Art Library: L.4647 & L.4647a-1934. Illustrations for publication were hand-coloured by stencil (by assistants at the Curwen Press) and the colour and design of the watercolour additions differs in all cases from that found in this set of proofs. The illustrations appear to be for general rather than specific reference to the text and the captions given in the catalogue records are therefore merely descriptive of the image. |
