Printer's proof aside from the small edition of 20.

In 1993 Pacheco worked with Stanley Jones at the Curwen Studio to produce illustrations as lithographs for the story Don Quixote. Pacheco was selected by the Henry Moore Foundation to spend time in the studio on experimental lithographic work.

In this series of six lithographs a journey of union and separation is enacted, one which moves from imagination (1), through desire (2) and courtship by the mock-heroic suitor on a child’s hobbyhorse (3), into the light of requited love (4); the lover transformed in the beloved. However, the darkness of jealousy and possession emerges as Don Quijote rejects and glowers at his faithful squire, Sancho Panza (5). In the final image he is isolated again (6), sitting in the gloom, hugging his loneliness.

Bears the blind stamp from the Archive of Stanley Jones.
