A collection of engravings by Gustave Doré, curated by Antonio de Horna and best known for his work on an edition of "Don Quixote" published in London in 1880, which was a resounding success. Having achieved success in France, he moved to England, where he was even more highly regarded for his depictions of Victorian life and customs in the mid-19th century. In this same book, Antonio de Horna includes a brief biography of the artist, explaining the intention behind this collection: "His true glory... would come to him... when his undeniable genius, embodied in more than ten thousand drawings and engravings, was recognized."

Pair of stirrups. Carved wood, iron. Chile, 18th century. A pair of stirrups composed of a carved wooden block, crescent-shaped at the front and decorated on the exterior with geometric and vegetal motifs, and an iron casing. As metal was reserved for other uses during the 18th century, wood began to be used more frequently for making stirrups in Chile. The shape of this pair, which follows a common typology of the period, appears to have derived from Asturian pieces, preferred over metal stirrups for their protection from water, branches, etc. The development of craftsmanship, particularly by the Jesuits in the area, led to this type of carving and decoration, which survives to this day.
