Vintage Caletilla Bullfighting Poster — Acapulco

Bold red typography, warm peach tones, and a dramatic matador illustration give this vintage Mexican bullfighting poster a striking presence. Advertising the December 25, 1956 event at Acapulco’s Caletilla Bull-Ring, it features Antonio Borrero “Chamaco” and José Ramón Tirado. A distinctive addition to a collected interior, its tall format works beautifully as a standalone accent or alongside other vintage artwork.
