This beautiful and authentic vintage travel poster was issued by the Dirección General de Turismo to promote Mexico as an alluring and culturally rich destination. It features a glamorous portrait of a young woman dressed in traditional Mexican attire—an embroidered off-the-shoulder blouse and a colorful folkloric skirt—holding a hibiscus flower and smiling warmly at the viewer. A matador, painted in a dramatic, expressive style, stands in the background, adding depth and evoking iconic elements of Mexican culture and performance.
The imagery blends Hollywood-style glamour photography with painterly illustration, a hallmark of mid-century Mexican tourism posters designed to appeal to international travelers seeking romance, color, and spectacle.
The bold turquoise-and-red typography spelling MEXICO and DIRECCION GENERAL DE TURISMO completes the composition, giving it the strong graphic presence typical of the era.
Condition: Very good. Light age wear.
A striking and highly decorative piece—wonderful for collectors of Mexican cultural history, mid-century travel art, or retro design.
