Commentary One of Roque Guinart's bandits, in countryman clothes, delivering Roque's letter for his friend in Barcelona.
Original image; well-draw figure and detailed setting.
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.
