Ebook Editor's Note
Nota del editor del libro electrónico
The book cover and spine above and the images which follow were not part of the original Ormsby translation—they are taken from the 1880 edition of J. W. Clark, illustrated by Gustave Doré.
La portada y el lomo que aparecen arriba, así como las imágenes que siguen, no formaban parte de la traducción original de Ormsby; fueron tomados de la edición de 1880 de J. W. Clark, ilustrada por Gustave Doré.
Clark in his edition states that, "The English text of 'Don Quixote' adopted in this edition is that of Jarvis, with occasional corrections from Motteaux."
Clark en su edición afirma que: «El texto en inglés del "Don Quijote" adoptado en esta edición es el de Jarvis, con correcciones ocasionales de Motteaux».
See in the introduction below John Ormsby's critique of both the Jarvis and Motteaux translations.
Véase en la introducción a continuación la crítica de John Ormsby a las traducciones de Jarvis y Motteaux.
It has been elected in the present Project Gutenberg edition to attach the famous engravings of Gustave Doré to the Ormsby translation instead of the Jarvis/Motteaux.
En la presente edición del Proyecto Gutenberg se ha optado por adjuntar los famosos grabados de Gustave Doré a la traducción de Ormsby en lugar de a la de Jarvis/Motteaux.
The detail of many of the Doré engravings can be fully appreciated only by utilizing the "Full Size" button to expand them to their original dimensions.
El detalle de muchos de los grabados de Doré solo puede apreciarse plenamente utilizando el botón «Tamaño completo» para expandirlos a sus dimensiones originales.
Ormsby in his Preface has criticized the fanciful nature of Doré's illustrations; others feel these woodcuts and steel engravings well match Quixote's dreams.
Ormsby en su Prefacio ha criticado la naturaleza fantasiosa de las ilustraciones de Doré; otros consideran que estas xilografías y grabados en acero se corresponden bien con los sueños de Quijote.
