The book cover and spine above and the images which follow were not partof the original Ormsby translation--they are taken from the 1880 editionof J. W. Clark, illustrated by Gustave Dore. Clark in his edition statesthat, "The English text of 'Don Quixote' adopted in this edition is thatof Jarvis, with occasional corrections from Motteaux." See in theintroduction below John Ormsby's critique of both the Jarvis and Motteauxtranslations. It has been elected in the present Project Gutenbergedition to attach the famous engravings of Gustave Dore to the Ormsbytranslation instead of the Jarvis/Motteaux. The detail of many of theDore engravings can be fully appreciated only by utilizing the "Enlarge"button to expand them to their original dimensions. Ormsby in hisPreface has criticized the fanciful nature of Dore's illustrations;others feel that these woodcuts and steel engravings well match theQuixote's dreams. D.W.
