EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Gustave Dore depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes' renowned novel, Don Quixote. Titled "The Yanguesians betook themselves to their levers and pack-staves" the engraving showcases Dore's exceptional talent as an artist. In this particular moment of the story, the Yanguesians, a group of rough and unruly men, confront Don Quixote and his loyal squire Sancho Panza. Armed with levers and pack-staves, they appear ready for a confrontation. The tension in the air is palpable as both parties face each other with determination. Dore's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. From the intricate facial expressions to the carefully crafted clothing and weaponry, he brings this iconic literary scene to life. The composition exudes energy and dynamism, capturing the essence of Cervantes' masterpiece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to 19th century France where Dore created his remarkable body of work. His illustrations have become synonymous with classic literature, breathing new life into beloved stories through his artistic interpretation. "The Yanguesians betook themselves to their levers and pack-staves" serves as a testament not only to Dore's skill but also to Cervantes' enduring legacy. It reminds us of the power that art holds in preserving and celebrating great works of literature for generations to come.
