Description
The 1958 original poster for the San Fermín festival in Pamplona stands as a captivating piece of mid-20th-century festival art, brimming with the energy and excitement that define this iconic event. The poster is a vibrant celebration of the spirit of San Fermín, an annual event that attracts thousands of visitors to the northern Spanish city of Pamplona every July.
At the forefront of the composition is a distinguished figure, dressed in the formal attire of a traditional festival drummer, holding drumsticks in hand. His confident expression and poised stance reflect the grandeur and ceremonial importance of his role in the festivities. The figure is framed by the rich green backdrop, which brings a sense of liveliness and vibrancy to the design.
Prominently displayed in the lower portion of the poster is the heraldic emblem of Pamplona, featuring the lion symbol and crown, encapsulating the historical and cultural pride of the city. The crest, with its intricate detailing and regal colors, serves as a reminder of Pamplona’s storied past and its enduring traditions. Below the emblem, the text reads "Pamplona San Fermín de 1958," marking the year of this particular festival.
The background of the poster is an imaginative swirl of green hues, suggesting the dynamic and sometimes chaotic atmosphere of the festival. Silhouettes of running figures, possibly referencing the famous "Running of the Bulls" (Encierro), are subtly integrated into the backdrop, adding layers of depth and excitement to the composition. The Running of the Bulls is one of the most internationally recognized elements of San Fermín, capturing the adrenaline and bravery that characterize the event.
The bold and somewhat modernist style of the poster employs strong lines and vivid colors that draw the viewer’s attention. The use of contrasting tones—deep blacks against bright greens and reds—creates a visually striking piece that conveys both tradition and modernity. This approach mirrors the essence of the San Fermín festival itself, which balances deep-rooted customs with a vibrant, contemporary celebration.
San Fermín is more than just the Running of the Bulls; it is a week-long festival filled with parades, music, dance, and cultural performances. The poster captures this festive spirit, emphasizing the musical elements with the central figure of the drummer, a key participant in the daily parades known as "Comparsas."
For collectors and enthusiasts of vintage travel and festival posters, this 1958 artwork is a prized example of festival promotion from mid-20th-century Spain. Its artistic merit lies in its ability to encapsulate the energy, tradition, and excitement of San Fermín in a single, compelling image.
Today, the San Fermín festival continues to draw global attention, and posters like this one serve as both historical documentation and artistic celebration of one of Spain’s most famous cultural events. The 1958 poster remains a vivid reminder of the timeless allure and enduring legacy of San Fermín in the cultural tapestry of Pamplona.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit

If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
