A graphic jewel with history and character
Welcome to our online store, where history and art merge into unique and soulful works. Today we present an exclusive graphic piece: an illustration titled "Toro Bravo," printed on an original page from the prestigious French publication La Petite Illustration, dating from the 1930s.
This work reinterprets the iconic figure of the fighting bull, a symbol deeply rooted in the Spanish cultural imagination. With expressive and powerful strokes, this print represents the fighting bull not only as a figure of the rural landscape, but also as an emblem of identity, tradition, and resilience.
Original La Petite Illustration paper
Each copy is printed on authentic pages from the French magazine La Petite Illustration, a literary and illustrated publication that circulated between 1900 and 1950. Specializing in the distribution of plays and literature premiered in Paris, this recycled paper now becomes an artistic medium with a new life and purpose.
As a print on vintage paper, each piece is unique, with slight variations that add authenticity and character. The ink rests on a texture rich in history, making this work a fusion of the ancient and the contemporary.
The Osborne Bull: a silhouette that transcends advertising
This illustration pays homage to a key symbol of the Spanish visual landscape: the Osborne Bull, created by designer Manolo Prieto in 1956 as a billboard for Veterano Jerez brandy. Over time, this stylized and powerful figure has ceased to be mere propaganda and has become a representation of the country's soul: strength, elegance, and tradition.
This Fighting Bull is not a simple decorative image. It's a fragment of graphic history, a piece of art evoking the fields, roads, and culture of Spain, captured on French paper over 90 years old.
Ideal for framing and giving as a gift
Measuring 28 x 19 cm, this print is perfect for framing and displaying in any space—from a rustic-style living room to a contemporary office with vintage accents. The frame is not included, giving you complete freedom to customize the presentation to suit your personal style or the setting where it will be displayed.
Whether as a masculine gift, a farmhouse-themed decor piece, or an addition to a collection of historic literary and graphic art, this print is an investment in timeless beauty.
