This illustration shows Don Quixote’s Adventures with Windmills. Don Quixote is a middle-aged gentleman from the region of La Mancha in central Spain, who is obsessed with the chivalrous ideals praised in books he has read. After a first failed adventure, he sets out on a second one with a somewhat befuddled laborer named Sancho Panza, whom he has persuaded to accompany him as his faithful squire. One of the most famous stories in the book is Don Quixote's fight with the windmills. He sees some windmills and thinks they are giants. When he rides to fight with them, he is knocked off his horse. Sancho tells him they are only windmills, but Don Quixote does not believe him. The novel was published in 1605 by Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes.
