This drawing was originally reproduced in a charity publication sold to promote the Guide Association, where it accompanied an essay entitled "Patriotism."
Description
This drawing illustrates a passage from Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote de la Mancha in which Don Quixote and Sancho Panza encounter a duke and duchess at the edge of a forest. Edmund Dulac remained close to the text, painting the richly attired duchess on a white mount, a hawk perched on her left hand. The duke and duchess smile mischievously at the chaos created by Don Quixote and Sancho, who tumble from their horses in a vain attempt to impress the aristocratic couple.
