According to Thomas Harris this tenth edition of 1918, of which a limited edition of 170 copies of the highest quality was made, after cleaning and steeling the original plates resulting from their technical characteristics the most valued after the splendid fourth edition. Laid paper with watermark with the portrait of Gaya.
'¿Está Vm… pues, Como digo… eh! Cuidado! si no!...' (plate 76) represents a satire directed against the military governor, General Tomás de Morla, whose name we find again in the memoirs of the French generals and in the Pradt's book on Spanish affairs. Tomás de Morla is identified as a man with a reputation for low bravery, lip service, and unfair to subordinates. In this scene he is represented in the middle of the exercise of his functions admonishing, shouting, making, in short, more noise than work.

Thirteen official editions are known: that of 1799, five in the 19th century, and seven in the 20th century. Being the last one in 1970 carried out by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.
