Carnival Rio Brazil February Mask
Original vintage South America travel poster for the Carnival in Rio Brazil February featuring a colourful design depicting a view through the eye holes of an orange carnival mask of the Christ the Redeemer statue on top of Mount Corcovado and Sugarloaf Mountain with the deep blue sea along the coast, a fun image of a person in a striped blue and white top singing and playing a drum with his head and open mouth forming the O in the bold stylised title lettering in the foreground with green, blue, yellow and red dots over the image. The annual Rio de Janeiro Carnival held before Lent is the biggest carnival in the world (the first Rio Carnival was held in 1723); this street party festival includes music, dancing, floats, costumes and parades. Good condition, repaired tears, staining, tape marks, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, I believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £35 for orders placed via our website.
