A very great piece of mid-century Spanish art deco!
The poster advertises "The 11th National Exhibition of Arts Industries and Crafts" in the Andalusian city of Montilla (southern Spain).
As seen on the poster grapes are highlighted in the center as the upland around Montilla is home to some of the finest wines in the area (including sherry known as Amontillado).
The poster was designed by Ricardo Anaya - a Spanish artist who made several great advertising posters for the Feria de Sevilla (Seville Fair) and religious festivals from late 1950s to late 1960s.
Overall this is a rich high-quality lithographic poster in strong colors with many very Spanish symbols on it.
