	Commentary	Governor Sancho in shirt, tied between two shields and armed with a lance during the pretended invasion of Barataria Island; around him, soldiers with swords, torches and lances. Well-known scene, but now resolved with Vierge's masterly style; detailed figures, with well-resolved movements, and excellent use of light and shadow, halftones and shading; notice the smoke sffects. 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.
