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.

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.
