EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Don Quixote in His Study, 1857" captured by William Henry Lake Price, we are transported into the inner sanctum of Miguel de Cervantes' iconic literary character. The image showcases a bearded man, seated amidst a cluttered room that exudes an air of preoccupation and distraction. The protagonist, Don Quixote himself, is depicted deep in thought as he sits on his throne-like chair surrounded by books and armor. His disheveled appearance mirrors the chaotic state of his surroundings - a true reflection of his untidy mind consumed by chivalric ideals and knightly fantasies. Price's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, highlighting the intensity with which Don Quixote contemplates his next adventure or noble cause. Through this portrait, we catch a glimpse into the complex psyche of this legendary figure who straddles reality and imagination. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing tableau from the 19th century at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we cannot help but marvel at how literature has inspired art across centuries. This print serves as a testament to both Cervantes' enduring legacy and Price's artistic prowess in capturing the essence of characters through photography. With its rich heritage value preserved within these monochromatic tones, "Don Quixote in His Study" invites us to ponder upon our own quests for meaning amidst life's messiness – just like our valiant knight errant does within
