"...a team of mules comes rushing in, with a tinkle of bells; after a few swconds, amid a flicking of whips, they drag the burden of the dead bull at a gallop through the sand of the arena"
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'.
