Oversized 3 sheet, Manolete Bullfighting Poster
The image is a vintage bullfighting poster for an event at the Plaza de Toros de Linares. This specific poster advertises a corrida featuring three matadors: Manolete, Luis Miguel Dominguín, and Gitanillo de Triana (Rafael Vega de los Reyes).
This poster is particularly significant because it is for the bullfight on August 28, 1947, during which the legendary bullfighter Manolete was fatally gored by a bull named Islero. The incident is considered a major event in bullfighting history, and Manolete's death led to three days of national mourning in Spain. |
