EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported to a scene straight out of Miguel de Cervantes' iconic novel, Don Quixote. The hero of the title, Don Quixote himself, stands tall and resolute in the picturesque countryside as he encounters a flock of sheep. However, in his vivid imagination fueled by his love for chivalry and adventure, he mistakes these innocent creatures for an approaching army. The image beautifully captures the essence of this timeless tale that has captured readers' hearts since its publication in 1605. Don Quixote's character is brought to life through his knightly attire and determined expression as he confronts what he believes to be a formidable enemy. Set against the backdrop of rural Spain, this historical fiction masterpiece takes us on an unforgettable journey filled with humor and poignant reflections on human nature. Cervantes' genius lies not only in creating memorable characters like Don Quixote but also in using their encounters with everyday objects such as sheep to explore profound themes. This print serves as a visual reminder of the enduring power of literature and its ability to transport us into different worlds. It invites us to delve into the pages of Cervantes' book once more or perhaps discover it for the first time – embarking on an adventure alongside our valiant yet delusional knight errant.
