Aventuras de Don Quijote

Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de, 1547-1616 · 1600 · Barcelona, Araluce · 18 pictures

A Spanish edition of Cervantes's Don Quixote, published in Barcelona by Araluce and drawn from a University of Toronto copy, presumably for adult and young readers of the adventure novel. The four colour plates show a knight in armour standing over a fallen man, a rider and a kneeling figure before a hilltop town, a group of figures around a fallen horse, and a mounted lancer charging a line of soldiers; the loose, painterly watercolour washes suit designers wanting dramatic historical action with muted earth tones.
