EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving by Gustave Dore captures a pivotal moment in the story of "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes. The image portrays Sancho Panza, the loyal squire to Don Quixote, surrounded by his family. As a representation of European culture during the Middle Ages, this illustration delves into various themes such as chivalry, gender stereotypes, and domestic life. Sancho Panza's wife is depicted as a stereotypical housewife, fulfilling her role as homemaker while caring for their children. This portrayal reflects the societal expectations placed upon women during that era. Meanwhile, Sancho himself stands at the center of attention with an air of daydreaming and longing for adventure beyond his daily routine. The black and white woodcut style adds an antique charm to this print, evoking nostalgia for times long past. It transports viewers back to Spanish culture in which "Don Quixote" was set—a time when imagination and misadventure were intertwined with everyday life. Amidst all these elements lies a separation between dreams and reality—an old-fashioned yearning for something more than what one's circumstances offer. Through this artwork, Duncan1890 skillfully captures not only the essence of "Don Quixote" but also human relationships within families and their connection to nature through symbols like the domestic pig on display. Overall, this engraved image serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece that invites contemplation on themes relevant even today—
