Description

This document is part of the graphic collection of the National Archives of Catalonia and represents an artistic print dedicated to the figure of Don Quixote. Its presence in a Catalan archive shows the visual and cultural diffusion of the work of Miguel de Cervantes, considered one of the most influential in European literature. The image, probably from the 19th century, reflects the interest in literary iconography and the construction of shared cultural myths. Don Quixote, as a symbol of idealism and social criticism, transcends borders and becomes part of European heritage. In terms of heritage, the document stands out for its graphic typology, its cultural value and its ability to connect Catalonia with the Hispanic and European literary tradition.
