Ballet Folklorico de Mexico

This striking and authentic vintage travel poster was produced by the Consejo Nacional de Turismo to promote Mexico as a vibrant cultural destination. It features a dynamic photograph of dancers from the world-renowned Ballet Folklórico de México, founded by Amalia Hernández in 1952 and celebrated internationally for preserving and showcasing Mexico’s traditional dance heritage.

The image captures dancers mid-performance, dressed in immaculate white folkloric attire with red accents, their swirling skirts creating a sense of movement and rhythm against a vast blue sky. The minimalist composition, dominated by open space and bright color, emphasizes Mexico’s sunlit landscapes and rich cultural traditions.

The bold typography reading “MEXICO” anchors the design, making it an eye-catching example of mid-century tourism advertising.

Condition: Very good. Light age wear.
A beautiful and increasingly hard-to-find piece featuring one of Mexico’s most iconic cultural institutions.
