This original 1963 Spanish bullfighting event poster advertises a corrida held at the Plaza de Toros in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Printed in Valencia by Litografía Ortega S.A., the poster features a dramatic painted scene of a matador confronting a charging bull, with sweeping red cape movement and expressive brushwork typical of mid-century Spanish bullfight artwork.
The event lists famous matador Manuel Benítez “El Cordobés,” along with Sebastián Palomo Linares and Linda A. Hicks. Posters like this were printed as temporary advertisements to promote specific bullfights and were typically pasted around town before the event, making surviving examples increasingly collectible pieces of Spanish cultural history.
The artwork is print signed “J. Cruz Estrems,” and the poster includes the legal registry mark “Depósito Legal V.2856-1963,” confirming its production year of 1963. The lithograph was printed by Litografía Ortega S.A. in Valencia, a printer known for producing Spanish festival and bullfight posters during the mid-20th century.
This large-format poster measures approximately 41.25 inches tall by 21 inches wide and presents beautifully when framed. It makes a striking decorative piece for collectors of Spanish memorabilia, vintage travel posters, bullfighting history, or mid-century European art.
