LEVER 333. LOSADA GOYA n°308. The Visions illustrated with very curious figures were a great success. They were likened to a carnival show, a vanity fair, a kaleidoscope of ridicule presented by a sardonic and mocking Master Pedro. They influenced Sorel, Cyrano de Bergerac, Le Sage and many others. Ex-libris ms. dated 1702 of Gédéon-Antoine Le Menestrel de Marcilly (President of the Grand Council).
