EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the enchanting world of Don Quixote, as depicted by the talented Gustave Dore. The image portrays a poignant scene from Miguel de Cervantes' literary masterpiece, where a beaten knight and his loyal squire find themselves in a state of disarray. The middle-aged knight, adorned in his suit of armor with shield and lance in hand, is visibly wounded and fractured. His face reveals both physical pain and emotional grief as he lies on the ground defeated. Beside him stands his faithful squire, who gazes upon his fallen master with respect mixed with confusion. This engraving beautifully captures the essence of chivalry and honor that defined medieval times. It highlights the human attributes of resilience and determination even in moments of defeat. The brokenness portrayed here serves as a reminder that even heroes can experience loss. Through Dore's classical style, we are transported to Castilla La Mancha in Spain - the birthplace of Don Quixote himself - immersing us further into Spanish culture. In the background, a donkey calmly grazes nearby symbolizing humility amidst grandeur. This engraved image not only showcases exceptional artistry but also evokes deep contemplation about concepts such as loyalty, courage, and perseverance which transcend time. As we gaze at this print captured by Duncan1890's lens, we cannot help but be drawn into an extraordinary tale that has captivated readers for centuries – one that reminds
