Es:"El Archivo Municipal de Sevilla conserva entre sus fondos la donación por parte del Estado español del archivo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929, uno de los acontecimientos fundamentales de la Historia Contemporánea de la Ciudad. Junto a la documentación textual se ha conservado igualmente buena parte de la documentación gráfica que produjo este evento singular, que tuvo lugar en Sevilla entre el 9 de mayo de 1929 y el 21 de junio de 1930, simultáneamente a la Exposicion Internacional de Barcelona. Ambas formaron parte de un proyecto común denominado “Exposicion General de España”.

Quizá la pieza más importante de esa documentación gráfica sea el cartel oficial de dicha exposición, que fue encargado a un artista de la talla de Gustavo Bacarisas Podestá (Gibraltar, 1973 – Sevilla, 1971). El cartel es de una calidad difícilmente superable, por su composición, al servicio de un iberoamericanismo evidente, y por un colorido original y especial.

Recientemente, el Archivo Municipal ha podido restaurar y devolver a su estado original este cartel oficial, pero de unas dimensiones realmente excepcionales: 158,5 cm de alto x 119,5 cm de ancho. Gracia al trabajo de la restauradora sevillana Yolanda Abad se ha recuperado una pieza singular tal y como fue concebida por Bacarisas en 1928 y litografiada en Valencia por Durán. Una obra maestra del diseño de carteles en su color originario (MFG)."

En el cartel aparece gente con vestimentas de varios países, el edificio de la Plaza de España (donde pude las coordenadas) y la Giralda.

En:"The Municipal Archive of Seville preserves among its funds the donation by the Spanish State of the archive of the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929, one of the fundamental events in the Contemporary History of the City. Along with the textual documentation, a good part of the graphic documentation that produced this unique event, which took place in Seville between May 9, 1929 and June 21, 1930, simultaneously with the Barcelona International Exposition, has also been preserved. Both were part of a common project called “General Exhibition of Spain”.

Perhaps the most important piece of this graphic documentation is the official poster for said exhibition, which was commissioned from an artist of the stature of Gustavo Bacarisas Podestá (Gibraltar, 1973 – Seville, 1971). The poster is of a quality that is difficult to surpass, due to its composition, at the service of an evident Ibero-Americanism, and for its original and special colouring.

Recently, the Municipal Archives has been able to restore this official poster to its original state, but with truly exceptional dimensions: 158.5 cm high x 119.5 cm wide. Thanks to the work of the Sevillian restorer Yolanda Abad, a singular piece has been recovered just as it was conceived by Bacarisas in 1928 and lithographed in Valencia by Durán. A masterpiece of poster design in its original color (MFG)."

In the poster appears people with clothes from various countries, the building of the Plaza de España (where I could find the coordinates) and the Giralda.
