Image restoration notes: Very little to fix here, which is good, seeing that I couldn't upload the original due to size issues.

• Support. Good restoration, no noticeable problems. I've definitely seen this before, but not in the book Don Quixote itself. Was this put in a magazine/book elsewhere? Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 01:43, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
  • It's a pretty popular image. You may also know it from Wikipedia: a lower-resolution version was a featured picture on Commons for a while, and possibly here as well. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 02:39, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
