This card serves as a colorful tribute to a golden era of bullfighting, reflecting the sport's deep cultural significance and the celebrity status of its most skilled practitioners during the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Chrome (circa 1953–1960)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Madrid\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Castile\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Spain\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Antonio Bienvenida, Bullfighting Art, Matadors, Spanish Culture, Tauromaquia, The Chest Pass\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: None\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Eki (Signed in plate)\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Ediciones E.

P. Rosette in Madrid, a firm specializing in regional Spanish tourism and cultural series.
