Carteles are the posters used to advertise corridas. They exist in many forms, with national and regional variations. If you'd like to know more about this graphic arts genre, you might want to take a look at EL CARTEL TAURINO (by Rafael Zaldívar, published by Espasa Calpe, Spain -- #26 in their "colección La Tauromaquia") which, in addition to hundreds of beautiful cartel reproductions, contains a lengthy exposition and bibliography.
