A Linenbacked Spanish Travel Poster (measures 28 1/4" x 40" [72 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Huelva, the 1924 Spanish poster ("Visit Spain"; "The Cradle of America") created by P.N.T. to encourage people to visit Huelva, Spain. This poster features Joaquin & Rafael Diaz-Jara artwork of the town with a large sailing ship in the background. Note that Huelva is where Christopher Columbus sought the aid of the Franciscan brothers in advancing his project of discovery. They introduced him to local wealthy sailors, and, eventually, arranged a meeting in Seville with Ferdinand and Isabella, and that earned Huelva the title of "The Cradle of America", because without that meeting, America might never have been "discovered"!
