Vintage Linares Bullfighting Poster — Manolete’s Final Bullfight

A green-and-gold matador, bold red lettering, and a pale green text panel give this vintage Linares bullfighting poster a striking presence. Beyond its visual appeal, it depicts the advertised program for a significant event in bullfighting history. The program names Gitanillo de Triana, Manuel Rodríguez “Manolete,” and Luis Miguel Dominguín for the August 28, 1947 Feria y Fiesta de San Agustín in Linares, Spain. This was Manolete’s final bullfight: the celebrated Spanish matador sustained fatal injuries that afternoon and died the following morning.
