RARE 1951 BULLFIGHTING FLYER - "Sergio Muñoz, Héctor Obregón, Humberto de Santiago" - Vintage Graphic Art
Description:
Step into the arena of 1951 with this extraordinary and authentic paper flyer, announcing a historic corrida de toros featuring a legendary lineup of matadors: Sergio Muñoz, Héctor Obregón, Humberto de Santiago, Leopoldo Galván, and Antonio del Olivar. This is a stunning piece of mid-century Spanish printing and a direct artifact from the heart of the country's rich bullfighting culture.
The flyer is dominated by beautiful, detailed artwork depicting the essence of the fiesta brava: a powerful bull, a classic capa de torear (cape) draped gracefully next to it head, and elegant floral embellishments that frame the dramatic scene. This evocative imagery captures the deadly ballet and traditional artistry of the spectacle.
Printed on characteristically light-weight paper over 70 years ago, this piece displays substantial and honest wear that speaks to its age and history. It has been carefully glued along its spine to a rigid cardboard backing by a previous owner, a common practice of the time to preserve such fragile paper items. This stabilization makes it display-ready immediately, allowing you to enjoy its incredible graphic charm without the worry of handling a delicate, unsupported document.
