Title page to the 'Colección de la principales suertes de una corrida de toros' 1790

This title page for a book on bullfighting, designed by Spanish artist Antonio Carnicero in 1790, showcases a scene of several figures watching a bullfight. The etching, which is printed on a blue paper, depicts an urban setting with a building in the background, and a large banner announcing the collection of bullfighting scenes, 'Colección de las principales suertes de una corrida de toros'. Carnicero's work, influenced by the Rococo style, captures the grandeur of the event, making it an invaluable historical document of 18th-century Spanish culture.
