Huelva Spain PNT Cuna De America
Original vintage travel poster issued by the Spanish national tourist board Patronato Nacional del Turismo PNT for Huelva Cuna de America / Cradle of America. Great design depicting a silhouette of a large tall ship in full sail against the sky with traditional buildings, Mediterranean stone pine trees and a statue in the foreground reflected on the lightly wavy sea, the leaves of a palm tree framing the image with the bold text and logos above and below. Huelva is located on the Atlantic Ocean in Andalusia south west Spain. The statue is most likely the Monument to the Discovery Faith by the American sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875-1942), depicting the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) leaning on a tau cross and looking out to sea in celebration of his first voyage from Palos de la Frontera to the Americas in 1492; the monument was opened in 1929 and is also known as El Monumento a Colon / the Monument to Columbus. Printed in Madrid. Good condition, restored tears, restored creasing, staining, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image 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, we 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 £25 for orders placed via our website.
