	Commentary	Don Quixote ready to test the visor helmet that he has made with pasteboard. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; notice the perfect use of light and shadow, halftones and shading; his 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.
