This photograph, part of a sequence documenting a 1949 bullfight in Mexico City, shows a lull in the action as a mounted picador and a lone matador await the next stage of the corrida. Period advertising banners for local and international brands line the arena's wooden barrera, offering a vivid record of commercial culture in postwar Mexico. The image belongs to a personal photo album chronicling the travels of General Jonathan M. Wainwright. Project: 218339
