	Commentary	In the foreground, a very realistic image of the fulling mills; in the background, don Quixote and Sancho pursueing their journey. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly. Notice the perfect use of light and shadow, halftones and shading. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching.
	Notes	1 - Vierge's original drawings (Chinese ink and wash) were reproduced by photogravure (notice the plate mark); the specific technique used, heliogravure, allows an excellent reproduction both of the original wash halftones and of the lines.
