	Commentary	At Juan Palomeque's inn, the innkeeper, don Fernando and his companions, don Luis and his servants and others, all disguised, tie don Quixote, asleep, and put him into a cage. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; carefully-done setting based on real places from La Mancha. 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.
