This is an original vintage Spanish travel poster designed by Teodoro Delgado for the Spanish State’s Tourist Department. The artwork features a strikingly stylized face adorned with an elaborate floral headdress. The face is painted in a minimalist manner, with dark, almond-shaped eyes, bright red lips, and a subtle blush on the cheek, evoking a blend of mystery and elegance. The flowers surrounding the face are vibrant and varied, incorporating a mix of blues, yellows, reds, and pinks, creating a dynamic contrast against the muted tones of the face.
The poster prominently displays the text "VISIT SPAIN" in an ornate blue font with decorative golden dots, reinforcing the vintage aesthetic. Below, in a smaller font, it reads: "Spanish State’s Tourist Department – Printed in Spain."
This poster exhibits signs of foxing but remains in good condition. Its unique and artistic approach to promoting Spanish tourism makes it a remarkable collectible piece.
