Lazaro Outwitted by the Cura from Rambles in the Footsteps of Don Quixote by Henry D. Inglis

Lazaro Outwitted by the Cura from Rambles in the Footsteps of Don Quixote by Henry D. Inglis

George Cruikshank
British, 1792–1878
1837
An etched illustration by George Cruikshank that condenses a comic moment from Henry D. Inglis's Rambles in the Footsteps of Don Quixote, showing Lazaro being cleverly outwitted by the cura.
A tiny, densely hatched scene sits dead center on a wide, empty sheet and is visually divided by a standing door—its crisp black-and-white lines and close, expressive crosshatching make the two kneeling figures feel painfully intimate and quietly comic.
Cruikshank’s etching exemplifies how nineteenth‑century illustrators turned popular literature into sharply observed, satirical images, shaping modern book illustration and the era’s visual culture of social commentary.
