"Sevilla is a rich, vivacious city, the very air of which is amorous; if the ladies of Seville keep their mantillas, that is firstly because it suits them, and secondly because they set store by being Spanish beauties in all their antique renown; but the chief thing is that it suits them."
An illustration from the book "Letters From Spain" written and illustrated by Karel Capek, translated by Paul Selver, published by George Bles, London, 1931. Capek, (1890-1938), the Czech writer best known for his plays, wrote a number of travel books in an amused and urbane style which suffused his accompanying drawings as well. He invented the word 'robot'.
