Den verstandigen vroomen ridder, don Quichot de la Mancha
This is a 1657 Dutch translation of Cervantes' Don Quixote, published in Dordrecht by Jacobus Savry and rendered into Dutch by Lambert van den Bos for a general reading public. The four pictures are small engraved folio plates showing crowds, riders and a rocky landscape, with thick hatching on rock and cloud and tiny figures set against open ground. A designer might take the dense cross-hatching and the way rocky outcrops and clouds are built from parallel lines.
