Please refer to photos. **First published in Spanish in 1605 and 1612, Don Quixote became a foundational novel of the western canon, and in foreign translation from the early days of publication. Irish Translator CHARLES JERVAS's [misspelled Jarvis] (1675-1739) version is a classic. The Irish translator was also an artist and poet. The work of British Artists SAMUEL SHELLEY (c.1750-1808) and THOMAS STOTHARD (1755-1834) also make this a notable illustrated version of the celebrated Spanish novel. Shelley was a miniaturist, watercolor artist and a co-founder of the Watercolor Society. Biographer F.M. O'Donoghue called him "one of the most charming and fashionable miniaturists of his time, ranking with Cosway, Smart, and Collins." (DNB) Stothard apprenticed as a draughtsman in fabric design, and later became engaged in book illustration and portraiture. He and Samuel Shelley lodged together in The Strand from 1778. Stothard's work was shown at The Royal Academy around this time, and he also enjoyed the mentorship of portraitist Sir Joshua Reynolds and landscape artist Richard Wilson. Many of his illustrations were published in the popular press, although it was a print artist and book illustrator for which he became famous. Some of his works were engraved by the young William Blake. (Monkhouse, DNB). Worldcat 975142591; cf. Biblioteca Central, Barcelona. Catalogo de la colleccíon cervantina. (AMJ).
