EDITORS COMMENTS
Misfitz - Don Quixote" is an evocative early 20th century photograph that transports us back in time to the world of the legendary Spanish literary character, Don Quixote de la Mancha, as imagined by the renowned British photography studio, Mary Evans Picture Library. Don Quixote, created by the inimitable Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, is a fictional character from the 17th century Spanish novel of the same name. Known for his eccentric and chivalrous nature, Don Quixote is an elderly man who has lost touch with reality, choosing instead to live out his days as a knight-errant, roaming the countryside in search of adventures and battles. In this photograph, we see a man dressed in full medieval armor, complete with a helmet, shield, and sword, standing alone in a barren landscape. His weathered face, etched with the lines of age and experience, is set in a determined expression as he gazes off into the distance, perhaps in search of his next quest. The worn and rusted armor, with its intricate designs and faded colors, adds to the sense of history and nostalgia that permeates the image. The photograph's title, "Misfitz - Don Quixote," is a nod to the character's status as an outsider, a misfit in the modern world. Yet, despite his eccentricities and his refusal to conform to societal norms, Don Quixote remains a beloved and enduring symbol of chivalry, courage, and the power of the human spirit. This photograph is a beautiful and haunting reminder of the timeless appeal of Don Quixote and the stories that continue to inspire and captivate us, long after the Renaissance and the medieval period have passed.
