EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraved image by Gustave Dore, we are transported to the enchanting world of Don Quixote, where a scene of profound mourning unfolds. The mourners, dressed in traditional Moorish robes, stand as symbols of resilience and unwavering loyalty. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the artwork, emphasizing the enduring nature of the characters' emotions. As our eyes wander through the arches that frame this poignant moment, we can almost feel the weight of their grief. This engraving not only captures an episode from Cervantes' masterpiece but also offers us a glimpse into Andalusian culture.
