| Item Description: | Title within ornamental border; head and tail pieces; initials. Errors in pagination: numbers 63-64 repeated. According to Palau y Dulcet, the illustrations were designed by Ortega y Lucio, and lithographed by Rocha. "121,[4]pp. plus lithographic frontispiece and sixteen numbered lithographic plates. Half title. Small quarto. Contemporary mottled calf, boards with gilt-tooled border, spine gilt. Some scuffing along spine and on the boards, extremities worn. Front free endpaper removed, some toning, foxing, and staining, short closed tear to one plate. Very good overall.--From vendor's description." "The first Mexican printing of a satirical Spanish sequel to Cervantes' Don Quixote, and believed to be the first Mexican literary work illustrated with lithographs. It was also printed on local paper ("papel de Maguey") in an attempt to bolster local industry (all enumerated on the verso of the titlepage). The work is a social satire told through the continuing adventures of Sancho Panza after his great friend's death. Though Panza attains a bit more stature through these tales, he is still depicted in the illustrations as a short, portly fellow consistently overwhelmed by his own predicaments. The lithographic illustrations are well-accomplished. Most of the illustrations are signed "Ortega," and the lithographer is identified as "Rocha" in the first (unnumbered) plate showing an unusually-dashing figure of Sancho on his great donkey, Dapple.--From vendor's description." ""This work predates Riviere's 1851 Antonino y Anita o Los Nuevos Misterios de Mexico, which Escamilla claims to be the first literary work published in Mexico to be illustrated by lithographic plates"-- [Dorothy] Sloan." "A rare and little-known work, not mentioned by Mathes or Toussaint, and not in Nación de imágenes: la litografía mexicana del siglo XIX. OCLC records just five copies: one in Spain and four in the United States, at Columbia, Ohio State, Middlebury College and the Univ. of Texas. Palau 123075n. Sloan Auction 23:120. OCLC 15289141, 803771918."--E-mail from vendor. |
