This 1902 broadside, "Legitimos Versos de Lino Zamora," by Manuel Manilla, depicts a toreador standing with his cape in one hand and a bull in the other. The scene is a popular subject in Mexican folk art, specifically in the "corrido" or ballad genre. The text printed on the sheet is a ballad detailing the life and death of a famous bullfighter. Printed in black ink on a bright orange background, the bold contrast and simple imagery make this broadside an engaging and visually impactful work, showcasing the traditional artistic style of the time.
