M.DCCC.XCII.

Charming Illustrated Edition of La Gitanilla, one of the New copies by Miguel de Cervantès, published here in French in the late 19th century by Parisian publisher E. Dentu, known for his neat and accessible publications. The book is part of the "Petite Collection Guillaume", identifiable by its oblong format and monochrome cover illustration. This narrative blends the exoticism of the gypsy world with a plot of recognition and hidden nobility typical of the time’s romantic taste.” The refined print, accompanied by a beautiful morocco binding, gives this volume a precious character."
