EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite engraving, titled "Salvador Carmona, Manuel (1734-1820); Carnicero: The Character and Pursuits of the Famous Gentleman Don Quixote," is an illustration from the first part of Miguel de Cervantes' literary masterpiece, "Don Quixote." The engraving, created in 1780, is a visual representation of Chapter I, which sets the stage for the adventures of the eccentric and noble-hearted protagonist, Don Quixote of La Mancha. Don Quixote, a middle-aged gentleman, has lost touch with reality and decides to embark on a chivalric journey to right wrongs and bring justice to the world. In this illustration, we see Don Quixote, dressed in his knightly attire, accompanied by his loyal and faithful squire, Sancho Panza. Don Quixote is depicted with a determined look in his eyes, holding a lance and shield, ready to face any challenge that comes his way. The figure of Manuel Carmona, identified as "Carnicero," or butcher, in the title, is also present in the scene. He is shown looking at Don Quixote with a mixture of amusement and concern, as the mad knight-errant passes by, mistaking him for a giant. The inclusion of Carmona adds a touch of humor and realism to the scene, highlighting the contrast between the fantastical world of Don Quixote and the mundane reality of everyday life. This engraving is a beautiful example of Spanish artistic talent from the late 18th century. It was produced in Barcelona at the Sant Jordi Catalan Royal Academy of Fine Arts, showcasing the skill and creativity of its artists. The intricate details and fine lines in the engraving bring the characters and the story to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Spanish literature or art.
