The Fallas de San Jose is celebrated in Valencia to mark the beginning of springtime. It began with carpenters in the Middle Ages who would use a plank of wood called a Parot to support their candles. At the end of winter, these planks would be burnt as a celebration. People began putting clothing on the Parots, and then identifying them with local personalities. These clothed planks of wood eventually became huge figures called Ninots, made of cardboard, wood, polyurethane, Styrofoam, cork, plaster and papier mache, which are burnt in the modern incarnation of the festival. Artist: L. Benito Sintes Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has a few minor blank border defects but overall it is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
