December 2016

I just got this 1931 Spanish poster for the "Gran Feria de Valencia".

The art is by Espert, who later fled to Mexico in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and became a movie poster artist.

I like the Art Deco style of the poster.

A travel poster for La Paz (Mexico, not Bolivia; the capital of Baja California Sur). 

I guess it's a manta ray (not totally sure)?

Another Mexican travel poster! I like the retro-futurist look of this one:
