Don Quixote 

This wood engraving by Gustave Doré depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes's classic novel *Don Quixote*. Doré was a prolific illustrator known for his dramatic and detailed style, which perfectly captures the spirit of the book. The scene portrays a group of captives in a courtyard, with one figure revealing his plan of escape to a renegade from Murcia. Doré uses strong contrasts of light and shadow to enhance the dramatic tension, emphasizing the plight of the prisoners and the urgency of the moment. This illustration serves as a powerful example of how Doré's work brought Cervantes's words to life for readers of the 19th century and beyond.
