"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."
