A real photographic postcard of the Bull Ring in Barcelona, Spain in 1925 (not sure if this is the La Monumental or Las Arenas stadium, but think its the later of the two). The postcard shows three dead horses, gored by the bull within 5 minutes and Toreadors trying to contain the bull. The stands look full of spectators. This is quite a rare postcard, very few real photographic postcards appear from this period of bull fighting.
