Description
Quevedo's Buscón is the hardest and funniest of the Spanish picaresque novels, and this 1892 English edition is famous for a second reason: Daniel Vierge illustrated it. Vierge drew with a pen in a way that photo-engraving could reproduce exactly, and illustrators from Pennell onward treated the result as the moment their craft became modern. The book therefore sits at two junctions at once — a seventeenth-century Castilian classic reaching English readers, and the drawings that changed how books were illustrated. With a portrait frontispiece of Quevedo. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1892 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
