Description

Color: Brown; White; Yellow A color photograph of a window in the west side of the La Casa Nueva Library, ca. 1977. The detail is of a scene from Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote," in which the protagonist examines his suit of armor in a room with books, and a shield and swords on the wall. At the upper left corner of the window there are two women peering through an open door. A caption in a pane of glass beneath the scene reads "Don Quixote testing his helmet." Some of the leading surrounding the scene and caption is visible as well as general light from outdoors. With little indication of wear or damage, aside from some edge discoloration on the reverse, the object is in good condition. Number-Units: 1
