A Linenbacked Spanish Travel Poster (measures 26 1/2" x 38 1/4" [67 x 97 cm]) (Learn More) Sevilla: Semana Santa (literally translates to "Seville: Holy Week"), the 1946 Spanish travel poster encouraging people to visit the Spanish city of Seville during Semana Santa de Sevilla (Holy Week in Seville), which is one of the city's two biggest annual festivals. It is celebrated in the week leading up to Easter and features the procession of pasos (floats of lifelike wooden sculptures). Note that this poster features men wearing robes and capirotes (conical hats), which, to today's viewers, unfortunately, suggests a "Ku-Klux-Klan-like" image, which is also not helped by them standing in front of a cross (Klansmen would often use burning crosses). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Spanish poster! What IS linenbacking?
