A Bullfight He Would Never Fight — Manolete Announced at Logroño, September 1947
Logroño · San Mateo, 21–24 September 1947 · Original illustrated advertising handbill
Catalogue details
Description
The programme explicitly advertises Manuel Rodríguez “Manolete” with Luis Miguel Dominguín and Pepín Martín Vázquez on 22 September 1947. Manolete suffered a fatal injury in Linares on 28 August and died on 29 August 1947, before the advertised date. The printed evidence establishes an unfulfilled scheduled appearance; it does not establish that this was the final engagement in his calendar.
