Back in 1884 no pens were made which contained that much ink do write that far with just "one stroke".
It would be more correctly titled 'One line drawing' as it is "one line", not continuous either as I can see breaks in it, and not continuous as (back then) the pen would have to have been lifted multiple times to make that 'one line'.
The above has one caveat: Unless that drawing is also incredibly small, then, maybe, one continuous stoke could have done that with an incredibly small tipped pen.
Nonetheless ... it is an incredible work of art.
