Pictured: the iconic sidekick and constant companion and foil of a character famous for his delusions, misplaced sense of importance and tendency to chase basically nonexistent threats and enemies - and also Sancho Panza from ‘Don Quixote’.

Another Fine Press Friday! 
This two-volume edition of Don Quixote de la Mancha: The History of the Renowned Don Quixote de la Mancha, written by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616), was illustrated by Edward McKnight Kauffer and published by Nonesuch Press, London, 1930. First published in Spanish in 1605, Cervantes’s Don Quixote is often cited as the first modern novel. The text of this edition is from Peter Anthony Motteux’s early 18th-century translation,  revised by John Ozell in 1743. 
Nonesuch Press was founded in London by Francis Meynell in 1922 with the intent to produce finely designed books. Following the Arts and Crafts tradition of William Morris’s Kelmscott Press, books published by Nonesuch were typeset on a hand press. The final design would then be produced by commercial printers to keep the books affordable while maintaining high aesthetic value. 
The American graphic designer Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954) found most of his success in England. He is most well known for the posters he designed for London’s Underground and London Transport, and his later posters for Shell Oil and the Great Western Railway. He also became interested in textiles, interior design, and theatrical design. His wife, Marion Dorn, was an American textile designer who also found great success in London. She illustrated the book William Beckford’s Vathek for Nonesuch Press in 1929 (which we highlighted in a previous post)..
This edition of 1475 copies was printed by Walter Lewis, master printer for the University of Cambridge, on Casinensis hand-made paper. The 21 illustrations were produced in photogravure and colored by assistants at Curwen Press using pochoir.

TVE-wave, or Españawave, is a signalwave subgenre uses samples from Spain's TVE-1 from 1985 to 1987. That particular era is its own unique aesthetic.
You are young.
You are a foreigner in this land.
You do not understand why the adults on TV sound so concerned.
Mom and Dad are foreigners here too. They understand a little bit of what the man on TV says.
They bite their nails.

Thank you, Cervantes
What a journey reading this magnificent work of literature has been. Originating in a Mediterranean land and thus haunting an Indian girl just as it has all its readers. This piece of art has evoked tears of joy, rib-hurting laughter (I have literally rolled off my beanbag a couple of times, I kid you not), tears of tenderness, unspeakable melancholia, and most of all,such love for the written…
