EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the 1900 edition of "Don Quixote of La Mancha" we witness a comical scene entitled "How Sancho Paid the Reckoning". The renowned artist, Walter Crane, brings to life Miguel de Cervantes' iconic characters with his vibrant and detailed color lithograph. The image portrays Sancho Panza, Don Quixote's loyal squire, in a moment of both humiliation and humor. As the story goes, Sancho finds himself burdened with an overwhelming debt that he must settle. In true Sancho fashion, he devises a clever trick to escape paying his dues. With mischievous delight on his face, Sancho is shown throwing coins into the air as if paying off his debts. However, upon closer inspection, one realizes that these coins are nothing more than worthless tokens or buttons. This playful act serves as both punishment for those who have wronged him and a testament to Sancho's wit and resourcefulness. Crane masterfully captures the essence of this beloved character through expressive gestures and vivid colors. Through this illustration, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of Cervantes' timeless tale - its ability to entertain us while shedding light on human nature. This print from Blackie & Son Ltd transports us back in time to experience firsthand the adventures and antics of Don Quixote and his faithful companion. It serves as a delightful reminder that even in moments of hardship or embarrassment, there is always room for laughter
