VAQUERO (DATES UNKNOWN) ASTURIAS. 1930. 40 1/2x20 inches. Voluntad, Madrid. Condition B+: detached lower left corner; minor tears and creases in margins; pinholes in corners. Paper. Along Spain's northern coast, Asturias is renowned for its rugged mountainous landscape as well as its beaches. A Christian enclave during Spain's Islamic period, Asturias was home to two important pilgrimage routes, the Ruta de Plata and the Camino de Santiago (St. James' Way), which is why so many historical buildings and monuments can be seen along her mountainous roads. Covadonga was the site of an important battle between the Christians and the Moors. Vaquero designed at least two posters for the region, the other featuring both a car and a train climbing through the mountains. French version.
