Description

Summary
  • Don Quixote sits in a wooden chair reading in the middle of a castle room, raising his right arm above with a sword in hand. He seems to be floating in the midst of numerous characters and episodes from his book, as well as a number of other bound volumes.
Description
  • Sheet No.3: Pt. I, Ch. 1: no textual extract, but an illustration depicting the classic scene of Don Quixote reading in a chair surrounded by scenes of romance, violence, and knightly derring-do. Escariche (Guadalajara), 1937.
  • Title supplied by cataloger
  • Coupons for harina, arroz, judias, garbanzos, azúcar, sal, ajos, lentejas, pan, cebollas
  • The ration coupons were likely made during the 1970s and bear no resemblance to any surviving examples of real or official ration coupons printed and issued during the Spanish Civil War.
  • Recto: Image related to Don Quixote. Verso: perforated and divided into ten small ration coupons.
