	Commentary	Don Quixote and Sancho discover the fulling mills; Sancho has not been represented, as usual and accurate to Cervantes' text, looking between Rocinante's legs. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting, carefully-done and based on real places from La Mancha. Notice also 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.
