Vintage illustrated bullfighting advertising handbill promoting a bullfight in San Luis, Sonora, Mexico, approximately 24 miles from Yuma, Arizona.
The event featured Mexican matadors Luis Procuna and Jaime Bravo with four purebred fighting bulls from La Trasquila Ranch. The advertisement lists the event for Sunday, November 24 at 3:30 p.m., along with admission prices and reservation locations in San Luis, Yuma, Somerton and Mexicali.
The front features a colorful dramatic illustration of a matador confronting a black bull. The reverse contains the complete event advertisement printed in red.
The year is not printed. Based on the performers, typography, telephone-number formats and overall design, this appears to date from approximately the late 1950s or 1960s. November 24 fell on a Sunday in 1957, 1963 and 1968, but the exact year has not been confirmed.
