Commentary | Original and accurate illustration with two of Maese Pedro's puppets (don Gayferos and Melisendra).
Well-drawn and detailed figures and setting (theater); Vierge's short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. |
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. |
