EDITORS COMMENTS
Sancho Panza, the loyal and bumbling sidekick of the fictional knight-errant Don Quixote, finds himself in an unexpected predicament in this 16th century Spanish print. Surrounded by a crowd of curious and amused citizens, Sancho is unceremoniously tossed into the air, enveloped in a thick, woolen blanket. The game of fun and merriment, reminiscent of a traditional Spanish picaresque scene, is a stark contrast to the discomfort and vulnerability Sancho experiences as he is held aloft. Published between 1605 and 1615, this print is a testament to the enduring popularity of the literary works of Miguel de Cervantes, who brought the characters of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza to life in his groundbreaking novels. The image captures the essence of the duo's adventures, filled with both enjoyment and literature, as the citizens of Spain revel in the amusement of their beloved characters. Sancho's expression of discomfort is palpable as he clutches the brim of his don hat, trying to maintain his balance as he is lifted higher and higher. The blanket, held firmly by the citizens, seems to swallow him whole, adding to the sense of disorientation and unease. Despite the momentary distress, Sancho's unwavering loyalty to Don Quixote remains unshaken, making him a beloved and enduring character in Spanish literature and folklore.
