The Brown University Library Center for Digital Scholarship continues its fine work with this exquisite trove of illustrations from "El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote De la Mancha," or as it is commonly known in English, Don Quixote. This particular collection brings together illustrations from this celebrated tome created before the turn of the 20th century, including renditions by artists like Manuel Peleguer, Gustave Dore, Robert Smirke, and Thomas Stothard. The artistic techniques here include woodcuts, copper engravings, linocuts, and xylography. Users can browse around by date or by name. Actually, 1819 is a good year to start, as the web-browsing public will find exciting images of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza in the midst of battle and conversations between Teresa and Sancho. [KMG]
