EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported into the world of Miguel de Cervantes' iconic characters, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. The image depicts them as love-lorn shepherds, a departure from their usual adventures as knights errant. Don Quixote, with his chivalrous spirit intact even in this pastoral setting, gazes pensively into the distance. His armor is replaced by simple shepherd's clothing, emphasizing his longing for a romantic connection rather than heroic quests. Sancho Panza stands beside him, equally smitten and lost in thought. The artist John Gilbert beautifully captures the essence of these beloved literary figures while adding his own artistic flair to the scene. The intricate details of their expressions and body language convey a sense of vulnerability and yearning that resonates with viewers. This enchanting illustration was created for an adaptation of Don Quixote aimed at younger readers by M Jones in 1870. It is part of a private collection but has found its way into our hearts through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of the enduring power of Cervantes' masterpiece but also how literature can transport us to different worlds and evoke deep emotions within us all.
