Cordoba, Fiestas Y Feria de Mayo – 1955

Córdoba is a city in Andalusia, Southern Spain that features many festivals throughout the year. But, arguably the most important and longest running of these is La Feria de Córdoba. The feria, simply meaning fair, was introduced by the King Don Sancho IV in 1284 to be held annually, aligned with the Catholic church and the period of Lent.  

In its earlier incarnation, the feria was a much more simple trading event of horses, bulls and other livestock. Entertainment would have taken the form of flamenco and sevillanas dancing which of course originated in gypsy communities in the countryside of Andalucía. 

The Feria continues to this day and is now a week long event of fun and festivities. This 1955 Cordoba, Fiestas Y Ferias dates back to 1955 and was created by the artist Gamez Alvarez.

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as a fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a bargain of print and frame for a great price.
