Commentary Reference to Dorotea's tale about the giant Pandafilando, who has conquered the kingdom of Micomicon.
Original and imaginative illustration, in keeping with 19th century romantic tradition.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly.
Usual in his 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.
