Lot 286: Bullfighting Collection (31)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Great group of material all showing the bullfights of the world: Spain, Mexico and Portugal. There is a mix of early stuff (1920's and 1930's), to the 1950's and right up to present day. The average would have to be 1950's. There is a lot of great stuff here including many gorings (the dominant theme), a 1930's woman bullfighter (rare), and the “first photo” of a bullfighter goring. It just happens to be Carmelo Perez, the “Babe Ruth” of bullfighting (1929). Great image. Wire photos, overall 7x9” and EX-MT.
