Commentary | First of seven scenes about don Gaiferos and Melisendra's puppet show. Johannot, with great originality, represents the characters as puppets; don Gaiferos remains unconcerned, playing board games, which will cause Charlemagne's anger. |
Notes | 1 - Same initial and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
