Three neat vertical creases, and a small chip in left margin (probably removed from a scrapbook), very good. A broadside advertising an appearance by a woman bullfighter, praising her good looks, and proclaiming her the premier and only woman bullfighter in Mexico. There have been very few woman bullfighters. The culture of machismo in Mexico erected great barriers to women wanting to enter the bull ring. This is the earliest mention we can find of a woman bullfighter in Mexico. Rare. OCLC locates no copies. [BTC#399170]
